Serious wine that deserved a decanting before consuming. Plenty of stuffing--spice box, red and black fruit and solid tannins. I should have paid more attention--there's some left so I'll reassess in a day or two.

7 ans de cave. Beaucoup de dépôt malgré 36 heures debout. Le plus agréable chez ce vin est son nez: fruit mûr, floral, tabac, évolutif. Bouche manque de fruit, tanins plus durs que son âge pourrait laisser croire. Aucune trace de Syrah dans ce vin! Assez déçu!

Not at all what I expected after the other opinions. Very disappointed with this bottle. Despite an attractive nose and color, there is not much left in the bottle. The wine lacks structure, fruit, and any character. It is basically insipid and undrinkable. I will save it to cook and deglaze, but other than that it's done. I guess (once again) I waited too long for this Torres, but I was deceived by all the positive tasting notes that others had left. Maybe I purchased a bad bottle????

Vin présentant encore un beau fruit confit, des notes de sous bois avec des arômes doux. À boire dans l'année.
