Opus One 2002
Robert Parker notes the “2002
Opus One boasts a dense ruby/purple
color as well as an attractive bouquet of
damp
earth, cassis, licorice, and
spice box. Medium-bodied
with noticeable, but supple tannin, excellent
purity, and a moderately long finish, it
is
excellent, possibly outstanding”.
