I’ve had the 1994, 1996, 1997 several times over the past 24 months and put it into several blind tastings and it always delivered great results and very high scores and even though it’s a tad sweeter it was often confused with a great aged Bordeaux from a riper vintage. If one was to try a somewhat older vintage of it as I prefer some age on my cab, what vintage do you guys suggest? Thanks!
I know Opus One gets a bad rap, but I still want to try it given that I really love Mondavi Reserves and generally enjoy California Cabs. However I do find myself buying Dujac for similar magnitudes. I have a few Opus tucked away, older, waiting for a day. RE: Burgundy, people go monkey shit me included to be honest. If you love it, you will seek it out and buy it. I’ll just add that QPR is in the eye of the beholder. Hard to find any under $300 currently, but I’ll have to continue looking! I think it has to do more with QPR and current prices. I may have been unfair calling it getting a bad rap. Last one I had was before their involvement, which I believe was somewhere around 2005. It’s gone through some changes and I’m not sure who’s making it since Constellation got involved. At the time it was around $100, which was high, but didn’t make it particularly out of line, since a lot of other wines were hitting that price. And I admit, I was one.īut then I tried it one day and thought it was actually pretty decent stuff. Then a lot of wines came out that were every bit as good and not as expensive. It was a big loud project initially, and it was a costly wine for the time. Mike - I don’t know that it really gets a bad rap, but it is a confusing wine.
