Note di degustazione
Still showcasing a primary feel to its fruit character, even though 33 years old, this remains vibrant damson in colour, with firm colour right through the core. Spiced turmeric and cinammon, an enticing mix of subtlety and generosity, hints of baked earth, raspberry leaf and herbal notes. Crushed rose petals also, has grip and longevity, edges of leather saddle, smoked earth and a mouthwatering signoff. 31 days skin contact, winemakers Patrick Léon and Tim Mondavi.

Altre recensioni e punteggi
One of the powerhouses in this vertical, the 1989 Opus One explodes from the glass with layers of resonant fruit. Over time, the intensity of the fruit fades a little as some slightly more rustic elements – including a suggestion of brett – emerge. A spell of rain brought some relief to the drought-striking plants. The 1989 is 97 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Merlot.
