Around this time in 2014 I was at their property and recall tasting the 13. It was so good I had two bottles shipped home. I also have two 14s. Am I drinking past prime? I was told these bottles can be held for 15-20 years. I am lost guys.
It sounds like you have stored it well. It could be going through a dumb phase. A lot of age worthy wines go through a period where they just shut down for a period of time before opening up again to greater heights. I had the chance to taste a 2013 Opus years ago and I felt the same way. Very impressed with it despite not having been overly impressed with past vintages. Opus IMO has turned a corner and has been cranking out a higher quality wine for many years now.

I wouldn’t give up on it at this time. 2013 is a legendary Napa vintage and is built for the long haul. I have two bottles myself and don’t plan on opening anytime soon. Here’s to hoping that patience pays off!

Nice! Love their wines. The new estate is gorgeous, too. Chris Carpenter is as talented as he is humble.

I have the same problem with wine. I try to buy older wines for this reason.
