Deep ruby-red. Aromas of dark berries, spice cake, beefsteak tomato and meat. Suave, smooth, lush and mouthfilling, with sweetly oaky flavors of dark berries, mocha, smoke and game. Generous, pliant wine, finishing with chewy but ripe tannins and lingering sweetness. A return to form after a few difficult vintages for this bottling.

solid wine
By pekklekim, March 11, 2005
DEEP ruby color character with a nose of blackberries and hints of vanilla, cocoa, and chocolate. Heavy blackberries and black cherries with suttle flavors of smoke and chocolate. The tannins are soft and well structured. Smooth and velvety long finish.

All style, no substance

Having just returned from my eagerly awaited trip to Napa and the Opus One vineyard, I must express my disapointment. While this is a good quality wine, I find that is hardly worth the hype. Much less complex than I'd like to see from a wine of such pedigree and price tag. Perhaps it gets better with age.

But definitely not worth the money. Do yourself a favor and search out a small French or Australian producer for a less than half the price of this wine...

difficult to be objective

It is difficult to be objective about a wine that is so expensive and so hyped. It is good, but not $100+ good.

Not what I expected

It didn't really knock the pants off me, but it is a nice blend. For the price, I would probably settle for the 2001 Insignia. Then again, I'd probably buy one to share with my brother and dad since they would never buy one themselves and then they would say that they had an Opus One.

Hope it gets better with time.

Purchased a three pack and couldn't wait to try one. Took it along to our favorite restaurant and was able to share it with the Sommelier. Needless to say we weren't that impressed. Hopefully another few years and we'll try another one.
