Brett? Game, power, plenty of fruit still present. As much as I have hated on the Opus Ones of this world, I am smitten. — 11 years ago

Yeah, even with my hate filter firmly placed in mouth, I found the 2012 Opus to be one of the most outstanding things I tasted at Texsom last summer.

89-91 Opus got it right...not so much after 95 but I haven't had anything since 2006 or so.

This is finally shedding it's tannin. Took a little while for the Brett to blow off but under that was nice dark fruits with some tinderbox aromas and smoke. A more primal Latour, but still a great Pauillac. — 11 years ago

Floral aromatics with some notes of anise and currant. A little Brett on the palate- but integrated. Cherry cord on the finish with some beautiful tannins. Drink now. — 12 years ago

Body medium +, Brett, menthol, pepper, strawberry, cherry, earthy, oak. A bit "hot". Bottle is atypical. You can't see content. Great with beef deli. Grown at high altitude. 13.5deg. A very pleasant surprise! Don't buy a bottle by its label. — 11 years ago

1983. Birth year wine. Delicious stuff. A touch of brett was beautifully integrated, and the secondary flavors were awesome. — 13 years ago
