Score 96/100 · Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Jun 2025

Luscious, nuanced, precise, love the power and cut glass quality to the tannins, crushed cherries, raspberry, sage, nectarine, black cherries, eucalyptus, long, drawn out and great quality. Harvest began on September 5, earlier than expected after a rainy start, but an exceptional August. 20 days skin contact, 100% new oak for ageing, Michael Silacci director.

Score 95+/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2019

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.

Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2019

A beautifully fresh and clean young wine in barrel with redcurrants, red fruit and hints of hazelnuts. Full-bodied, round and layered. Chewy at the end. Shows potential.
