A family cellar who's patriarch bought most of the wine on release directly from wineries and held in his home cellar. In October of 1989 the wines were transferred to a professional wine storage facility in NYC (we have the intake receipts) where they have sat until being brought to auction.
The score for 1982 Opus One Napa Valley is 90 points from Vinous and the tasting note - The 1982 Opus One is one of the more direct wines in this complete vertical. There is plenty of fruit in the glass, but at the same time, the tannins aren't as polished as they are in other vintages of the same era. Today, the 1982 comes across as a bit burly and rough around the edges. The depth of the fruit suggests the 1982 might actually still benefit from further time in bottle! The blend is 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot.
