Note di degustazione
The first vintage-dated release of this cuvée, which has previously been a multi-vintage blend. 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot. Aged for 19.5 months in new French oak. Delicious pure black fruit, there's a bit of a raisined element but fresh fruit too. Sweet oak vanilla and finely brushed tannin. The finish leaves oak and spice in charge. (RH)

Vivid cherry red, medium intensity, pared back and moreish. Enticing charred plum and spiced black cherry, restrained and savoury, chalky tannins, good lift through the palate without losing the creaminess of the fruit, a dusting of cocoa powder adds a gourmet twist. 100% new oak for ageing. 2021 was a very dry vintage (2nd driest in history of Opus) but there were few extremes of temperature, and this is a delicious Overture. First one with a vintage on the label, after a few years of slowly moving that way. Impressive, easy to recommend.
