#AgedWineTuesday
This 12 year old Napa Cabernet is drinking so very nicely now.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, cola, tobacco, coffee and peppercorn.
Full bodied rich, extracted and delicious.
Medium acidity with a long finish and soft tannins.
Dry on the palate and very fruity.
This Single Vineyard could age for another 10 years, but I really enjoyed it at this stage.
Wine spectator's 97 points.
Very enjoyable and yummy. Good by itself as a sipping wine.
A very small production of only 9 barrels.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$155 (current vintage).

This is spicy and red fruit-driven with the slightest hint of camphor/menthol. Full-bodied with soft tannins, decent acid and quite a long finish. It’s wonderful. 1 hour decant.

Dec 9th, 2017TGIF!!! This was a perfect ending to a long week. Smiles all around as @Mike R would say. Dark and brooding, the nose gives off blueberries mostly. A touch sweet on the palate with blue fruits and baking spice. Silky tannins, and a great acidity. Tor remains one of my favorite go-to wines - consistently excellent.
