Opus Uno 2014

Taste Notes: The Opus One 2014 offers a complex and highly aromatic bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry, elegantly layered with nuances of violet, graphite, and a sophisticated touch of cedar and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied, seamless, and impeccably balanced, showcasing a beautiful integration of fruit, tannin, and acidity. Flavors of dark fruit, plum, and cocoa unfold, supported by a refined oak influence and a subtle earthiness. The tannins are silky and polished, contributing to a luxurious mouthfeel. The finish is remarkably long, precise, and graceful, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and elegant spice.

Food Pairings: This harmonious vintage of Opus One is superb with classic gourmet pairings. Think of roasted rack of lamb with rosemary, pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction, or a perfectly prepared beef Wellington. It also complements rich mushroom preparations, truffle dishes, and a selection of fine aged cheeses such such as an aged Gruyere or Comté.
