En primeur: Opus One 2023

The 2023 growing season has produced one of the most refined and classically proportioned Opus One releases in recent years. Aromas of cassis, blackberry and dark cherry are layered with graphite, cedar, violet and subtle tobacco leaf. Silky yet firmly structured, the palate combines remarkable purity, fine-grained tannins and vibrant freshness, leading to a long, mineral finish. Beautifully balanced now with decanting, this will reward extended cellaring over the coming decades. Drink from 2027 to 2038. 13.5%
