1998 Opus One Shows very consistent drinkability. There is not even much difference in the taste several times: very ripe blackberry and black brie aroma, combined with smoke, vanilla and cigar box. The entrance is full, round, very layered, but not very complicated.

   I’m curious about “black brie.”

   Newbie here. Is it typical to taste an old Bordeaux blend such as this in a Burgundy glass? Currently researching my next glass purchase.

   Isn’t there some sort of minimum time an account needs to exist before they can post?

   1998 Napa reds were mostly drunk-up 20 years ago, they were all pretty mild. Good wines with very little aging potential.

   Here’s a good report of an Opus One vertical tasting from about 7 years ago over on [Liquid Asset](http://www.liquidasset.wine/report206.html)
