Opus One 'Overture', Napa Valley, 2019 Release, 75cl

“A multi-vintage blend of mostly 2018 and some
2017, this is a fine, fruity and extremely likable second wine from Opus. It
has good construction on the palate with blackcurrants, Morello cherries and
soft wood spicing with concentration and drive. The aromas and flavours open
and evolve after a few minutes in the glass giving succulent sweet cherry and
blueberry notes alongside some savoury olive and ash elements. Overture
comprises roughly 10-15% of the total Opus production. First released 1993 and
was, until 2014, primarily sold via cellar door. More than 50 lots are vinified
separately then blended and aged for 17 months in French oak, 50% new. Drinking
Window 2022 - 2031.” – Decanter
