The iconic 2012 Proprietary Red Opus One is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec aged 18 months in French oak. A classy, complex, suave and savory 2012 Opus One, with notes of toasty oak and crème de cassis. This Pauillac lookalike, made by the staff at Mouton Rothschild, is a beauty. They have continued to strengthen the quality of wine and seem to have produced a brilliant, world-class wine. I imagine the 2013 may even eclipse this, but this 2012 is one of their great ones, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood all present in this beautiful, full-bodied wine that should drink well for 25-30 years.
2012年的作品1號是Baron Philippe de Rothschild和Robert Mondavi合作的結晶。這款年份的酒展現了深色水果的香氣，伴隨著森林地面和石墨的微妙氣息。口感圓潤，絲滑的單寧包裹著經典的黑醋栗、黑莓和黑櫻桃風味。這款酒酸度活潑，結構堅實，餘韻悠長。經過18個月的新法國橡木桶陳釀，這款酒精緻且具有陳年潛力，無論現在享用還是收藏以後品嚐都非常合適。
The 2012 Opus One is a testament to the collaboration between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. This vintage showcases dark fruit aromas with hints of forest-floor and graphite. On the palate, it offers a round mouthfeel with satiny tannins and classic flavors of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry. The wine is lively with acidity and has a sturdy structure, culminating in a long, lingering finish. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, this wine is refined and age-worthy, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for future enjoyment.
