Notes on the Opus One Napa Valley Red Table Wine 1996 : WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: 96 POINTS Special Report: Opus One Vertical Tasting
Wonderful finesse and complexity. Not the up-front opulent flavor of the '94 or '95, but seemingly deeper, with more finesse to the toasty clove, currant, black cherry and spice. Tannins are fine-grained.--Opus One vertical. Best from 2002 through 2012. 30,000 cases made. (JL) Issue: Feb 29, 2000

WINE ADVOCATE REVIEW: 93 POINTS This is one of the finest Opus Ones to date, offering a dark ruby/purple color, as well as a striking, intense bouquet of sweet licorice intermixed with blackberries, cassis, plums, and saddle leather. This seamless, full-bodied wine is velvety-textured, opulent, and succulent. The mid-palate is expansive and chewy. The long finish is filled with glycerin, ripe fruit, and sweet tannin. Drink this impressive, user-friendly yet richly concentrated effort over the next 15 years. Drink: Through 2015 Issue: #126 (Jan 2000) - Robert Parker

WINEMAKER NOTES: A decreased berry set in May followedd by sunny days and warm July nights brought the smaller-than-average crop of 1996 to maturity in mid-September. Showing deep color, the wines are bold and concentrated, with supple texture, lush flavors, and a smooth, lingering finish.
