Opus One 2008

8 x 3 litre - double magnum  (8 owc)

Included with this lot is a private tour of Opus One for 6 guests finishing in the Grand Chai, with a lunch prepared by our private chef.

Opus One was the creation of two visionary spirits, Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. Both men saw far ahead of their contemporaries and drove their idea of a vinous joint venture with the determination that marks out great people. Now, this beautiful, opulent wine has never been as well made, under the superb direction of Michael Silacci.

Each of these 9 wine lots donated by some of the world’s greatest wineries, combines Stellar large format (double magnums and jeroboams) wines with a unique winery visit. Legendary wines from Bordeaux, Champagne, Tuscany and California’s Napa Valley are sure to take pride of place in any wine cellar with wines that provide immediate pleasure and others that will benefit from years of careful cellaring. The specially tailored visit to the winery included with each lot is sure to provide a unique experience for you and your guests, providing insight to the winery and the people behind the wines as well as memories to last a lifetime. Large format bottles are prized by connoisseurs for their long-ageing potential and they always taste younger and age longer than their normal bottle counterparts. Like all great wines, these are meant to be shared with family and friends. The 3 litre double magnums are the equivalent of four normal size bottles and will serve over 30 glasses of wine while the 5 litre jeroboam will serve over 50 glasses.
