93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Medium brick colour. Intense nose of dried blackberries and cherries laced with complex aromas of coffee grounds, tobacco leaf, cumin and soy. Nice concentration of mature berry and spice fruit balanced by medium to firm, slightly chewy tannins and medium to high acidity. A more structured style of Opus. Very long finish. Tasted April 2009."
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Freshly cut flowers, raspberries, anise and savory herbs jump from the glass in the 1995 Opus One. A beautifully bright, focused wine, the 1995 stands out for its high-toned aromatics and fabulous balance. All the elements are in the right place. This is a distinctly pretty, feminine Opus One that is all about grace. An attractive aromatic lift rounds things out nicely. Stylistically, the 1995 belongs to the wines of similarly high rainfall vintages such as 1986 and 2011. The 1995 is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot and 2% Malbec. (Jun 2013)"
93 points Falstaff Guide: "Medium carmine colour, watery rim. Leafy, delicate orange zest, mineral nuances, some cherry, but also dark berry aromas and discreet floral notes. Full-bodied, extremely fine, delicate cherry, pleasant fruitiness, fresh, perfect in its current stage yet still has a good future ahead of it; already a wonderful, versatile food wine. (Apr 2011)"
92 points James Suckling: "Delicious aromas of chocolate, sweet tobacco, and currants. Full bodied and very soft, with velvety tannins and plenty of fruit. Interesting notes of iodine, lavender, iron, and plum. This is textbook stuff, holding on beautifully. 14+23+22+33. Find the wine. (2/16/11)"
