Tasting note
2016年的作品一號是對不妥協品質追求的見證。這款酒極其優雅明亮，提供了新鮮的紅色和藍色水果、烘焙香料和香草的豐富香氣，以及春天花卉的細膩香氣。初步的花束由更細緻的鼠尾草、迷迭香和黑橄欖的香氣增強。黑櫻桃、黑莓和黑醋栗的多汁風味充斥著口腔，而奶油般的細緻單寧則帶來了令人愉悅的圓潤結構。和諧而活潑，風味持久，創造出帶有深色巧克力和濃咖啡觸感的持久餘味。這款酒是由77%的赤霞珠、8%的小維鐸、8%的梅洛、5%的品麗珠和2%的馬爾貝克精美混釀而成。
The 2016 Opus One is a testament to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This wine is remarkably elegant and bright, offering sumptuous aromas of fresh red and blue fruit, baking spices, and vanilla, with a delicate fragrance of spring florals. The initial bouquet is augmented by more nuanced notes of sage, rosemary, and black olive. Juicy flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis flood the palate, and creamy, fine-grained tannins deliver a delightfully round structure. Harmonious and lively, the flavors linger to create an enduring finish with touches of dark chocolate and espresso. This wine is the result of a beautiful blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 8% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc & 2% Malbec.
