About the Opus One Overture 2021
The first ever vintage dated release of Opus One's Overture. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot.
Vivid cherry red, medium intensity, pared back and moreish. Enticing charred plum and spiced black cherry, restrained and savoury, chalky tannins, good lift through the palate without losing the creaminess of the fruit, a dusting of cocoa powder adds a gourmet twist. 65% new oak for ageing. 2021 was a very dry vintage (2nd driest in history of Opus) but there were few extremes of temperature, and this is a delicious Overture. First one with a vintage on the label, after a few years of slowly moving that way. Impressive, easy to recommend.
