Opus One 2017 750mL Bordeaux "The 2008 Musigny Vieilles Vignes

"The 2008 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is a wine I could smell all day

"Scarecrow’s inky/purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a prodigious effort

For my taste this beauty could still benefit from another 2 to 4 years of bottle age but it's no longer so young that it would be a crime to open a bottle

it still reveals a dense opaque purple color along with a potentially sensational bouquet of blueberries

Opus One 2017 750mL Bordeaux "The 2008 Musigny Vieilles Vignes"A remarkable wine for the year, the 2017 Opus One is a dense, full throttle beauty. Plush fruit and soft, silky contours give the 2017 its racy personality. Exotic, beautifully perfumed and impeccable in its balance, Opus One is one of the most complete wines of the vintage. In 2017, Opus One has a distinctly red toned fruit profile that distinguishes it from the surrounding vintages." Vinous, AG95+, tasted 9 2019
