This is the vintage to drink now. Opens with lots of cherry and just enough tannin to keep it interesting but not too much to pucker. The alcohol is well managed and keeps the fruit well balanced. People think Opus is just another “flash bottle” but it is truly a complex work of art, as we continued (not decanted) it presented some leather and smoke.

So the pucker factor was low?
Thanks for the note. I hadn’t even thought to touch my bottle for at least another 5-10yrs but you’re making me rethink that
