Goedhuis Waddesdon, August 2024
Following a disastrous 2020 vintage, it’s back to business as usual this year. Vibrant, bright, and aromatically complex, the nose is packed full of black berry fruits, fresh mint, dark chocolate, and sweet vanilla notes. On the palate there is a continuation on the theme of intensity and complexity, with more blackcurrant richness and cinnamon spice, while the texture is velvety and the tannins soft and ripe. The extra Cabernet this year has given an already powerful wine added oomph, yet it never loses its elegance. Drink 2027-2052.

Jane Anson, August 2024, Score: 100
A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style. Gorgeous vivid plum colour, sculpted, balanced, with a ton of lift, waves of rose petals, iris and peony, soft grilled cumin, sage and white pepper spice. Love the hidden power here and the supple slightly chalky tannins that are structured in their architecture with a precision and carved quality. Precise, layered and stretched out, a brilliant Opus, concentrated and yet delicate. Feels pared back and captures the spirit of early Opus, when it moved forward the conversation of what Napa could be. Michael Silacci director, 100% new oak for ageing extremely well integrated even now. Drink 2026-2042.
Region
Napa Valley
This small town north of San Francisco has grown up to be one of California’s most famous wine regions. It is home to opulent Cabernets and sweetly-spiced Zinfandels, grown across many sub-regions including Stags Leap, Rutherford, Oakville and others. Cooling ocean fogs roll in from the Pacific at night and burn off in the summer sunshine, keeping the region cooler than you would expect for its latitude, and help produce some of the best Californian wines. Napa wines have the concentration and structure to age magnificently.
