Tasting note
這款2015年的作品一號是兩位男士的夢想實現：波爾多的夏多·穆東·羅斯柴爾德男爵菲利普和納帕谷的釀酒師羅伯特·蒙達維。這款酒質地絲滑，豐富，光澤亮麗，味道濃郁，輕鬆散發出其覆盆子、黑莓、甘草、香料盒和花香的特性。入口處充滿了成熟的黑色水果風味，如李子、黑莓和藍莓，隨後是香草和可可的微妙暗示。絲滑的細緻單寧提供了結構和奶油般的質地。酒體以新鮮的酸度和豐富的餘韻結束，預示著其在酒窖中的長壽。
This 2015 Opus One is a realization of the dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. The wine is silky, lush, polished, and rich, delivering its chocolate-covered dark cherries, blackberry, licorice, spice box, and floral character with ease. The entry is vibrant with ripe dark fruit flavors of plum, blackberry, and blueberry followed by hints of vanilla and cocoa. Silky, fine-grained tannins provide structure and a creamy texture. The wine finishes with fresh acidity and a rich, lingering finish that promises longevity in the cellar.
