Tasting note
2017年的作品一號是納帕谷風土的完美體現，展現了釀酒藝術的精髓。它擁有優雅而芬芳的香氣，深邃複雜的香氣交織成一幅畫卷，包括多汁的博森莓、新鮮的紫李和一系列的多汁漿果，所有這些都由清新的礦物質感覺所支撐。口感和諧地融合了果香和新鮮感，結構平衡細膩，帶來美妙的定義和微妙的豐潤質地。黑加侖子、黑櫻桃和一絲可可粉的味道被細膩的單寧所包裹，導致長久、柔順的餘韻。這款酒是精緻與力量的慶典，是一次奢華的體驗，將繼續演變並在未來多年帶來喜悅。
The 2017 Opus One is a testament to the art of winemaking, a blend that captures the essence of Napa Valley's terroir. With an elegant and aromatic nose, it offers a tapestry of deep, complex scents including pulpy Boysenberry, fresh violet plum, and a medley of juicy berries, all underpinned by a refreshing minerality. The palate is a harmonious fusion of fruitiness and freshness, with a well-balanced, delicate structure that delivers a beautiful definition and a subtle, unctuous texture. Flavors of black cassis, black cherry, and a whisper of cocoa powder are wrapped in fine-grained tannins, leading to a long, supple finish. This wine is a celebration of finesse and power, a luxurious experience that will continue to evolve and delight for years to come.
