Deep garnet colored, the 2013 Opus One needs a little swirling before exploding with preserved black and blue fruitsÑÆblueberry compote, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordialÑÆgiving way to notes of unsmoked cigars, new leather, beef drippings and menthol with wafts of roasted rosemary and rose oil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is both powerful and ethereal, charged with energy and backed up by profound black fruits, supported with plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and beautifully perfumed.
