Tasting note
2016年的作品一號納帕谷紅酒，是釀酒藝術的典範。這款結構堅實、風格鮮明的紅酒，散發著優雅與複雜的香氣，帶有辛辣的波森莓、細膩的矢車菊和成熟的黑加侖子香氣，並輔以野生覆盆子、黑李和紫羅蘭的香氣。肉桂、甜香料和香草的微妙暗示增添了香氣的層次。口感上，它展現出果味與細膩的完美平衡，豐富的黑莓、黑加侖子和草莓味道。小藍果、石墨、香草和肉桂的味道為這款酒增添了層次。單寧優雅而持久，導致一種幾乎帶有鹹味的餘韻，使人愉悅，帶有深色巧克力和濃縮咖啡的餘韻。這款酒的姿態非凡，是羅斯柴爾德男爵和羅伯特·蒙達維共同願景的慶典。
The 2016 Opus One from Napa Valley is a testament to the art of winemaking. This bold and structured red wine exudes elegance and complexity, with a nose that captivates with spicy Boysenberry, delicate cornflower, and ripe cassis, complemented by wild raspberry, black plum, and violet undertones. Hints of nutmeg, sweet spices, and vanilla add to the olfactory symphony. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance of fruitiness and finesse, rich with flavors of blackberry, cassis, and a touch of strawberry. The presence of small blue fruits, graphite, vanilla, and nutmeg creates a layered taste experience. The tannins are as elegant as they are persistent, leading to a suave, almost saline finish that lingers with notes of dark chocolate and espresso. A wine of remarkable poise, it is a celebration of the vision shared by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi.
