Tasting note
2012年的作品1號來自聲譽卓著的納帕谷，是一場複雜與優雅的交響曲。這款酒釋放出濃郁的黑果香氣，伴隨著森林土壤和石墨的微妙氣息，口感上經典的黑加侖子、黑莓和黑櫻桃風味盡顯其貌。圓潤的口感和絲滑的單寧與活潑的酸度和堅實的結構相得益彰，最終在悠長的餘韻中達到高潮。這款值得陳年的佳釀，見證了其創始人菲利普·德·羅斯柴爾德男爵和羅伯特·蒙達維對無與倫比品質的承諾。
The 2012 Opus One is a symphony of complexity and elegance, hailing from the prestigious Napa Valley. This wine exudes dark fruit aromas with an undercurrent of forest-floor and graphite, leading to a palate where classic flavors of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry shine through. The round mouthfeel and satiny tannins are complemented by lively acidity and a sturdy structure, culminating in a long, lingering finish. This age-worthy wine is a testament to the legacy of its founders, Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi, and their commitment to uncompromising quality.
