Opus One & Overture 2023

Opus One, the celebrated joint venture between luminaries Robert Mondavi and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, is one of the most highly anticipated wines from the Bordeaux La Place, and the sumptuous 2023 vintage does not disappoint. We were lucky enough to taste both Opus One and its baby brother second wine Overture with the Opus team in August, and every sip confirmed the continued brilliance of this legendary Napa estate.

    The 2023 Opus One is a super classic wine. Brisk acids, fine tannins and lifted aromatics signal an Opus One of exquisite finesse and class. Red/purplish fruit, mint, orange peel and chalk are all woven together in a fabric of nearly indescribable class. The 2023 floats on the palate with understated finesse and lightness, but it's not light in any way. This is class personified.

  • Jane Anson, September 2026, Score: 98

    A measured, balanced growing season, dry but without the heat spikes of 2022, and this Opus is a pretty stately beast, deep rich purple, intense, structured, edges of violet set against black fruits, cassis, bilberry, damson. This is one of the slowest unrolls that I have had with Opus, it rewards patience to showcase the chalk and slate texture of the tannins, and you can safely put this away for a few years before drinking.

  • Jane Anson, September 2026, Score: 94

    There is an ease to this wine, a beautifully unfussy juiciness that is thoroughly enjoyable, showcasing cherry bud and violet flowers, creamy without being heavy, charred sandalwood, fully benefiting from the beauty of this luscious and balanced 2023 vintage. As of 2021, Overture is fully vintage, and also more plot-driven than when it was NV, tends to be the plots closer to the river.
