A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 Bolgheri Superiore Opheliah Maria is a bold and opulent wine. It is evidently inspired by the Bordeaux school, yet the wine boasts an all-Tuscan soul. You will recognize those distinctive Mediterranean tones of rosemary, blackberry and barbecue smoke. Its appearance is darkly concentrated and inky black. The effect is finessed but also direct and ultimately very powerful. This wine ages in oak for 18 months and should continue to evolve over the better part of the next decade. Only 5,000 bottles were produced.
