Opus One 1992

Opus One 1992 is a mature, elegant Napa Valley Bordeaux blend showing the ageability that has defined this Napa-Bordeaux collaboration since its founding.

Inviting, rich aromas lead to an intense berry character with firm, polished tannins, excellent balance and concentrated flavours that carry elegance through to the finish. Still evident power and concentration run through the body of the wine, with salinity and soft cedar on the finish taking it into a more tertiary, savoury character, alongside notes of cigar, tobacco and pencil shavings.
