Finally got a chance to enjoy this stunning wine - grilled some steaks to perfection and celebrated life with THE one and ONLY Opus One.

Needs an hour decant.
N: white flowers. Faintly tropical. Intense white flowers as this opens.
P: crisp. Mineral. Delicious. Silky peach. Very elegant as it opens. More an enveloping hug of flavor than a wall. More profound less powerful. So silky. So perfect. Perfect mountain stream.
An hour in this is German Puligny. From sylvaner. Yes. I know.
Like a 10 minute finish. Lemon peel. Savory a bit.
Sick.

Best vintage I’ve tasted. More balanced and a lot smoother than 13,14,15. A bright wine in a very tragic fire year — 5 years ago
Along with Egly-Ouriet, simply the best entry-level grower champ on the market (IMO). This is 70% base vintage, and 30% reserve wines. Blend is 33/33/33% Pinot/Chard/Meunière. 30+ months on lees… damn delicious. Disgorgement: June 2023 / Dosage: 6 gr/l — a year ago

With The Bored. Oakville Cab Franc: med plus body, opulent fruit, big tannins, high alcohol, a bit dusty on the finish. Great while young and better with age. — a month ago
