1994 Opus One, Napa Valley 1×1.5L

Robert Parker 90

A straight-laced, Cabernet dominated nose with tobacco/cigar-box scents. The palate is medium-bodied, quite lithe and approachable and enhanced with the pork belly I was eating it with. Very harmonious, not trying to hard, understated with a Saint Julien style, cedar-infused finish. Compared to other vintages, this is very approachable, an Opus of those with more “fay” palates! Tasted July 2006. [01/07/2006]

Vinous 96

What a pleasure it is to taste and drink the 1994 Opus One. Far better than a bottle I had last year, this bottle is absolutely terrific.  Voluptuous, sexy and layered to the core, the 1994 races across the palate with superb depth and pure class. 96 [Antonio Galloni, 10/01/2014]
