2011 Opus One Napa Valley from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 95 points, Vinous 94 points, Falstaff Magazine 93 points. This is the tasting note for 2011 Opus One Napa Valley from Vinous - The 2011 Opus One comes across as quite powerful and intense. Raspberry jam, rose petals, savory herbs and mint, all come together beautifully in the glass. The tannins are going to need a few years to soften, but the 2011 continues to develop very nicely in bottle. This is a very strong showing, especially within the context of the year. The 2011 is dark and even a bit rough round the edges, particularly when tasted alongside the surrounding vintages. The lithe, mid-weight, savory style is at times more Old World than New, yet all the elements are in the right place. Opus One is going through a brilliant period, as these four wines amply show. In addition to the new and upcoming releases I also had a chance to revisit the 2010, a wine that is just as impressive as it has always been. .
