Tasting '11 Opus One before release on market. Difficult vintage, late rainfall during flowing caused reduced # & size of berries & increased concentration. Lowest % of Cab S (71%) used in blend, the rest 11% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, 8% Cab F, and %1 Malbec : Tasting note: smoky quality like Lapsang tea, strong herb notes w/ fresh cranberry, linear body, lots of structure, a wine that will make great old bones.

Dusty, tight and a bit austere. A lot of pedigree here, slightly more on the old world side, this is a very serious wine. Would love a bit of exuberance and a bit more of an outgoing personality. To young perhaps?
