99 Points! Decanter. This is the second ever vintage of Opus One, tasted with Steven Spurrier at the Opus One offices in Bordeaux. Maybe that made the tasting even more special, but the wine absolutely sang. The director of the office, Laurent Delassus, spoke about how Opus owes a debt to Spurrier's Judgement of Paris for the creation of the estate, as it gave Baron Philippe de Rothschild the confidence to go into partnership with Robert Mondavi: 'The smart French winemakers weren't angry but became interested after the tasting in the potential of California'. It was a cool growing season for Napa, and that freshness has clearly helped this age. Still so young, it has warmth and generosity in the fruits but remains balanced and nuanced - a knockout wine. It's the kind of wine that, even before the first glass is halfway down, you are thinking 'I hope there's more of this
Hi! This is our new website from Kahn's Fine Wines & Spirits. Since we are still working through potential inventory bugs/kinks, we ask you to be patient with us while we get everything sorted and organized for you. You'll notice that a lot of our spirits and wine images may look like old bottling styles. We do not have those products and are working to get the correct images ASAP. There are also products that are mis-labeled and we are working to get those fixed as well. Unless your order is confirmed, it will be considered pending. We thank you for understanding :)
