4/25/2024 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 92 points

Brought this to dinner with my wine group at a Turkish Restaurant. I might be shorting this a point. Enjoyed by everyone and one of the night's favorites. Some described it as Hedonistic. Big, full bodied, fruit driven, with a medium+ length finish.

Somewhat muted nose that I am not sure will improve. Dark sweet fruit with a strong tannic background that lacked integration with the fruit on night one. However, went well with red meat. Kept on Argon gas and was much more approachable/evolved on night 2. Solid finish! Perhaps give it another 5 years but...

1.5 hr decant and off to the races flirting with perfection for the rest of the evening. The nose jumps out at you with black currant, sour cherry, and blueberry pie. Lest you assume it’s going to be a fruit bomb, all kinds of menthol, cast iron, and loamy notes weave into the fruit on the palate. Tannins smoothly integrated on the finish that rides off into the sunset for a good couple of minutes. Sublime with Flannery ribeyes.

Very nice with a 60 minute decant. Don’t think this will improve much from here.

This had nice body, balance and typical 2016 dust upon opening. Went through a closed phase at about 2 hours and re-emerged at about 4 hours with added depth, complexity and brighter finish. Really liked this bottle.

This is a tough one - it seems to have huge potential, but right now it’s super tight and tannic and didn’t soften with several hours of air. Dunnuck talks about perfume but I wasn’t getting much of that. Will give the rest of the bottles several more years at least

Disappointing for the price. Opened, but not decanted for over an hour at a NYC Steakhouse. It was part of a Napa Cabs and Cab blends tasting with my wine group. This was easily my least favorite of the night. I have really enjoyed TOR's single vineyard Cabs, but this was nothing special. The other wines were, 2009 Larkmead Cabernet, 2010 Anderson's Conn Valley Eloge, and the 2015 Lewelling Wight Vineyard Cabernet.

Decanted this wine for 2-3 hours. Deep purple in color, this wine is full bodied and concentrated with layers of flavors including blackberries, blueberries, mocha and spice. Tannins are present but not overpowering. Wonderful wine.

Kendrick’s Wine Club (67 Pall Mall, London): Double decanted for a good hour and not a bad idea to do so.
The wine has a bit of a pomerol feel in its ripe and lush palate feel and of course with an extra level of ripeness that comes with the postcode. Definitely a bit of puppy fat to assimilate and also some soft mocha feel from the oak. Very well made and works for the style , and hopefully patience will be rewarded too when a more of a secondary feel arrives . We worried though if the wine now is as good as it gets and older would not mean better .Still at this age the wine is welcoming and in no way austere. 92-93 and wish one day we cross paths with it in the future.

Wow. An incredibly complex, full-bodied Chardonnay. A powerful nose followed by notes of citrus and stone fruits, lightly toasted bread, hazelnut and wet rock on the palate. The finish here seems to go on forever. Stunning.

Sadly meh. Still feel like I'm drinking a different wine than others, tho my storage of 6 bottles wasn't the problem. This is my last, hoping higher-end TOR prove better.

Cellared from release. Top flight Cab. At 23 years old, popped and poured. Initial whiff blew off in 5 minutes. Dark garnet, broad lightening meniscus. Gorgeous. Fruit and oak on the nose. Black cherry, strawberry, blackcurrant, all translate to the palate. Loooong finish, with beautiful acid and full bodied fruit, undertone of powerful yet balanced tannins.

Decanted two hours before pairing with oven-braised beef chuck stew. A dark ruby cloak, the nose beckons with both red and black berries, cassis, RC Cola, tobbaco, medium dark chocolate, and orange rind on the finish. I'm finding this RC Cola note quite common with these Tor Kenward cabernet sauvignon wines. Great balance - weightless - with ample acidity. This paired wonderfully and should last a good while longer.

Maybe not at the peak but still darn close and holding. Ten+ years and the penultimate bottle. It is a strong and lovely as the first with more maturity without a hint of bricky. Luscious.

Really nice after a 1 hour decant. A powerful yet elegant nose with rose petals and dark fruits. Black cherry, black currant and herbs on the plate. Velvety tannins with a long, lingering finish.

Took to ribeye dinner. Too sweet, jammy, and cloying for my taste - but many in the table loved it. Tannins and oak fully integrated. Time to drink up. Some alcohol burn, esp on the nose. Too flamboyant, sweet, extracted, and over the top for me.

Met my expectations, inky black, big, bold, chewy, dense, dry, tannic, and ripe, a touch of spice on the very long grippy finish. Only five barrels made.

Black and red fruit, cedar, cigar box, dried flowers, spice, pepper, vanilla, minerality. Strong tannin and acid. Mid weight on the palate. High alcohol. Finish is rather short and tart. This wine should be in a great drinking window for the next 10 years.

Lovely wine served at Joe muir in Detroit. Paired with wagyu short rib. After an hour in the decanter it finally opened! Plenty of depth and more I'm sure in a few years

Wow - this wine is still drinking incredibly well and showed no signs of being shut down. Popped and poured, it immediately still gave off the same ripe intensity that was pointed out by previous reviewers, but still that same lifted elegance that we have come to love with BTK bottlings. Not a surprise I guess, but notes of cassis, plum, and mocha, and the tannins are very well integrated - silky smooth. This bottle could honestly probably keep going for a while given how much fruitiness is left.

A stunning Chardonnay. Pop and pour and consumed over two hours. A powerful nose with lemon, stone fruits and floral notes. Lemon, apple, stone fruits and marzipan on the palate. The wine has an interesting slightly oily texture on the palate (not a bad thing!) and a finish that goes on for close to a minute. It reminds me of a good Montrachet
