A Montreal based collector who works as a sommelier/wine buyer and is WSET 3 certified, became interested in wine more than 15 years ago. He began to seriously collect wine 10 years ago and everything was purchased through the SAQ except the Opus One which was purchased at auction in 2020. Bottles were carefully stored in a home cellar which is temperature and humidity controlled.
The tasting note for 2016 Opus One Napa Valley is from Robert Parker and the score is 98 - Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Opus One bursts from the glass with ripe blueberries, black cherry jam and crème de cassis with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cedar chest and cardamom, plus a touch of charcoal. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate delivers layer upon layer of opulent stewed black fruit with amazing tension and firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long with a whole array of exotic spices coming through.
