Opus One Napa Valley 1992

95 points Jane Anson (Decanter): "Still evident power and concentration running through the body of the wine, although salinity and soft cedar on the finish takes it into a more tertiary feel. An enjoyable see-saw between young and old, this feels firm and bright in what was an early harvest year. 38 days skin contact. Drinking Window: 2019-2034. (Sep 2019)"

92 points Robert Parker: "The 1992 Opus One, a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Merlot, offers a beautiful dark ruby/purple color, a big, spicy nose of cassis, lead pencil, and smoky oak, round, full-bodied, broad, fat flavors crammed with black fruits, soft tannin, low acidity, and a fleshy, full-bodied finish. This rich wine confirms just how fine these wines have become since the 1990 vintage. (Jun 1995)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "Tightly wound, with firm tannins. The core of meaty currant, anise, cedar and spice tasted awkward, but all the ingredients are there for greatness. I expect this wine may take longer than most Opuses to reach its peak.--Opus One vertical. (2/29/00)"
