Previous tasting note here was for October 2022. Aromas of menthol , plum skins and friable soil. Medium bodied palate showing a strangely sweet chocolate character amongst the savouriness. A few years left in the drinking window. Have the last one in 2+ years. — 6 months ago

To celebrate my 9,000 reviews on vivino, here is a beautiful Pinot Noir.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong fruity nose with bing cherries, raspberries, sweet strawberries, spices, oak, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, earth and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blueberries, black cherries, light earth, herbs, spices, vanilla, cedar, black pepper, light cola, dark coffee and licorice. black pepper.

Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Pinot Noir from Burgundy is already drinking very nicely, but still extremely young. Well balanced and smooth with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

I had it blind right out of the bottle. That was a nice surprise. I called 2018 Burgundy Pinot Noir, but I did not see this kind of bottle coming... What a great experience to blind taste such an iconic wine.

There is always an aura when drinking these kind of wines, but drinking them blind, gives you a perspective that might be missed otherwise.

Needed 2 hours in the decanter to open up properly, and bring more complexity. Much better once it opens up.

I had an older vintage of this wine a year ago, and it is such a different wine. Will continue to age nicely in the next 30 to 40 years.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Barnyard funk on open. Soily. Wet leather. Needs time to expand. Time that I didn't afford it. Quite better than my last time with this. 2012 vintage offers more weight and heft. Very good.

Nose: fig and Asphalt and earth

Taste: candid walnut up front? plum and berry, very fruit forward in the middle. Finishes spicy! Love the prickling sensation as the berry fades.

Oy vey. This is something. Bright and lifted at the front. Intense fruit with lemon, chalky stone and minerality but a really deep and broad middle with hints of honey, spice and real depth. Light but powerful and long and intense. This is exceptional and in a very good place — 8 months ago

Torres was a pioneer in producing Cabernet wines. Over 130 years old, Spain's Torres Winery almost single-handedly established the now-famous Penedès wine region. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon & 15% Tempranillo, deep Ruby with ripe berry fruit aromas and an array of spice. On the palate cherry and plum with cacao and tobacco notes. Fine tannins on lingering finish ending with toasty cedar tones. Nice value! Tasting Sample! — 5 years ago
