A real live, honest to goodness wine question...really.

Your thoughts on Opus One?
the Mondavi/Rothschild combo.

Feh. It actually was supposedly pretty good up until 1997, but then the management of the brand and the process to making that wine changed considerably, and I am told it is a shadow of what it used to be.

97 is when the baron died, wasn't it?

In the interest of WOT remaining user-friendly, here's a visual representation of how Opus is not as good now as it used to be for those who are not oenophiles.

Opie One


Opie Two

Opie 3.1 -

I thought this was Opus One:
