Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2000

This is one of the finest Opus Ones to date, offering a dark ruby/purple color, as well as a striking, intense bouquet of sweet licorice intermixed with blackberries, cassis, plums, and saddle leather. This seamless, full-bodied wine is more velvety-textured, opulent, and succulent than past vintages. The mid-palate is expansive and chewy. The long finish is filled with glycerin, ripe fruit, and sweet tannin. Drink this impressive, user-friendly yet richly concentrated effort over the next 15 years.

About Winery

In 1970 Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild met for the first time, and ten years later they announced their joint wine venture, which was to be a Bordeaux-style wine made in Napa Valley. When the first vintage of Opus One was released, it became know as America's first ultra-premium wine, establishing a category of wine
priced by the bottle at $50 and above.
