Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate delivers layer upon layer of opulent stewed black fruit with amazing tension and firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long with a whole array of exotic spices coming through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-fUCuFg jXOXxk\"\u003eDuring my recent visit to Opus One, I tasted five vintages of the \"grand vin,\" including a barrel sample of the 2019, which will be published separately in a dedicated report.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComparing the 2018 vintage with 2019, winemaker Michael Silacci commented, \"There’s a little more richness to 2019. 2018 is elegant, and that's not an excuse for being lighter. I like the intensity of the 2018s—2019 is a bit above it. 2018 was cooler with a little bit more acidity.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth vintages are a triumph at Opus One and a testament to the subtle changes that Silacci and his team have been conducting in the vineyards and winery over the last 15+ years.
