The 2001 Opus One showed beautifully, with mature yet complex notes of ripe dark fruits, tobacco, lead pencil, and truffly earth. Very Bordeaux-like aromatically as well as on the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, has firm, focused, yet ripe tannins, a terrific sense of elegance, and outstanding length. It’s a classic, impeccably made, fully mature Napa Valley Cabernet to enjoy over the coming decade.
