2018 Opus One
Description
Composed of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 2% Malbec, Opus One's 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is truly an iron fist in a velvet glove, delivering a powerhouse of flavors and structure with a seductively plush texture. It opens with a deep garnet-purple color and wonderfully spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cloves and fenugreek with a core of cherry preserves, redcurrant jelly, blackberry pie and warm plums plus hints of camphor, lavender and cigar box. Full-bodied, rich and bold in the mouth, it fills the palate with exotic spice-laced black and red fruits, framed by firm, beautifully ripe, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing with epic persistence.

Tasting note
2018年的作品一號是一款平衡美妙的葡萄酒，口感柔滑，如奶油般的口感。它散發出黑莓、黑醋栗和黑櫻桃的豐富香氣，接著是優雅的紫羅蘭、白胡椒和玫瑰花瓣的香氣。口感層次豐富，新鮮多汁的黑果味道如潮水般湧現，並帶有橙皮、甘草和黑巧克力的微妙味道。圓滑的單寧和新鮮的酸度將風味延伸到長時間的餘韻中。這款葡萄酒是波爾多的穆東羅斯柴爾德男爵菲利普和納帕谷釀酒師羅伯特·蒙達維共同努力的結果，他們致力於創造一款追求無與倫比品質的葡萄酒。
The 2018 Opus One is a beautifully balanced wine with a soft, creamy mouthfeel. It offers profuse aromas of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry, followed by elegant notes of violets, white pepper, and rose petals. The flavors build to a crescendo of fresh and juicy black-fruit, accented with hints of orange zest, licorice, and dark chocolate. The smooth round tannins and fresh acidity extend the flavors into a long persistent finish. This wine is the result of the combined efforts of Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi, who set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality.
