Amazing blackberry, tobacco, cassis. Still youthful with moderate acidity and smooth, soft tannins. A beautiful bottle. Ready for prime rib. #christmas2014

A stunning example from a vintage panned by the critics. I've always loved the '98s, they just needed some time. Still fresh, lively and poised. Easily another decade.

From the start this 1998 Opus had a beautiful nose of cherry and plum, with notes of cedar and herbs. On the palate, the wine is refined and silky, with tannins and flavors of dark fruit and notes of leather, cocoa, espresso, and spice, finishing long and polished.
