2013 Opus One
Description
The 2013 Opus One, a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec, is a beauty. Velvety textured, without a had edge to be found, notes of crème de cassis, blueberry, subtle wood and floral notes gently rise from the wine’s dense purple color. Beautifully full-bodied and extraordinarily elegant and pure, this is certainly one of their great achievements over the last 37 years. The wine has an exquisite finish and can be drunk now or cellared for 25-30 years.

Tasting note
2013年的作品1號納帕谷紅酒，是野心與工藝完美結合的典範。這款酒是傳奇的羅斯柴爾德男爵與羅伯特·蒙達維合作的結晶，充滿了豐富的藍莓、黑加侖和黑莓音符，並點綴著玫瑰、茴香和一系列烘焙香料。酒體從柔滑的入口逐漸展開，中段呈現出層次豐富的複雜性，天鵝絨般的單寧環繞著濃郁的黑果核心和一絲清新的多汁感。平衡的酸度和結構預示著其長壽命，餘韻帶著持久的黑巧克力提示。這是納帕谷風土的優雅而強烈表達，無論是現在享用或多年後品嚐，都同樣迷人。
The 2013 Opus One from Napa Valley is a testament to the harmonious partnership of ambition and craftsmanship. This wine, a collaboration between the legendary Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, is a symphony of rich blueberry, cassis, and blackberry notes, accented by rose, anise, and a medley of baking spices. A creamy entry unfolds into a complex mid-palate, where velvety tannins embrace a core of concentrated dark fruit and a touch of juicy freshness. With a balanced acidity and a structure that promises longevity, this wine finishes with persistent hints of dark chocolate. It is an elegant and powerful expression of Napa Valley's terroir, ready to be enjoyed now or to be savored after years of cellaring.
