I just opened up a bottle of "Opus One Meritage 2002"
 

Hmmmmm maybe i should let it breathe more...

Its ok... hmmmmmm:(

I think you have to let it breathe about the same amount of time as a bottle of thunderbird.

yeah i should let it breathe more.... i let it breathe for a few minutes then poured a small glass... needs more breathing

no. you should have let it age longer

2002 wasn't a good year for Opus

If you are in the Bay Area and have a day available to go wine tasting, I would be happy to give you a tour of Napa Valley, including the Opus One winery. I make 3-4 day treks there each year and have visited over 50 of the wineries.

Here are some pix I took at Opus One...

Sampling some of the wines (a Cabernet and a Meritage - typically $25-$40 per tasting glass...includes souvenir glass, LOL):

I thought GFY would have more wine connoisseurs...

Pix from Chateau St. Jean in Sonoma (while Napa is most know for it's red wines, Sonoma is famous for it's white wines, particularly Chardonnay):
