Opus One - Red Blend 1998 (1.5L) 1000mlWinemaker Notes Already slowed by El Nios winter flooding, the growing season of 1998 extended into late October, promoting a very long ripening period for Opus Ones grapes. Supple and lush, the 1998 Opus One shows an opaque purple color and intense aromas of blackberries, vanilla, and roasted espresso and caramel.
