Wine Advocate: 98 Points
Very deep garnet-purple in color the 2018 Opus One soars out of the glass with bright bold boysenberries warm cassis and ripe juicy black plums notes plus emerging nuances of lilacs oolong tea cinnamon stick tilled soil and black truffles. Medium to full-bodied the palate is packed with tightly wound layers of crunchy black fruits supported by firm grainy tannins and fantastic freshness finishing with lifted fruitiness and on a lingering mineral note.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2018 Opus One is incredibly elegant and polished right out of the bottle. Silky tannins and lifted perfumed aromatics add to an impression of finesse that distinguishes the 2018 from some of the preceding vintages in a pretty big way. It will be interesting to see if the 2018 gains body with a bit of time in bottle. It is pretty rare for Opus One to be so approachable at this stage. (Drink between 2024-2043)
