Very deep garnet in color, the 2009 Opus One is a tad closed to begin, offering glimpses at baked plums, dried blackberries, and stewed cherries, plus wafts of balsamic, dried herbs, and new leather. The palate is full-bodied, firm, and chewy, with plenty of black fruits and savory flavors, finishing a little rustic.
