Opus Uno 2015

Taste Notes: The Opus One 2015 presents a captivating aroma of intensely ripe black fruits—cassis, blackberry, and dark plum—intertwined with complex notes of licorice, espresso, dark chocolate, and a hint of dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet beautifully balanced, with a velvety texture and firm, fine-grained tannins. Rich flavors of black cherry, wild berries, and toasted oak unfold, complemented by nuances of baking spice and a subtle earthy minerality. The wine offers a profound depth and concentration, leading to an exceptionally long, persistent, and luxurious finish.

Food Pairings: This opulent vintage of Opus One demands equally rich and savory food pairings. It is an ideal match for prime cuts of beef, such as a perfectly grilled Wagyu steak, roasted filet mignon, or slow-braised short ribs. It also pairs magnificently with rich game meats like venison or wild boar, and can stand up to complex, flavorful sauces. Consider it alongside a selection of aged, hard cheeses to accentuate its robust character.
