Opus One 1987 is a Napa Valley red wine from the partnership founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. The official Opus One note says the dry, cool, moderately long season produced clean, well-balanced fruit and a wine of suppleness and structure.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Mature Napa Cabernet-blend aromatics; official PDF emphasizes balance and structure rather than detailed aromas.
- Palate: Supple yet structured, with outstanding aging potential noted by the producer at release.
- Finish: Long-aging profile; current finish depends on storage and bottle condition.
Best For
Mature Napa Valley Cabernet-blend service, collector review, and careful cellaring contexts; inspect bottle condition before sale or opening.
