Yack Man Likes this wine: 92 points
August 21, 2022 - Better days are ahead for this wine, I find it really primary at this stage. It has the stuffing but it needs more time for resolution. On the nose, fragrant aromatics with a reddish purple translucent color. On the palate evolving sweet berry fruits, cherry and blackberry fruit that will require more time to integrate as I see it. This will show nicely with a long decant in the short haul but you will be rewarded if you allow a little time for cellaring. I fine is somewhat typical with the Tor label. I didn't decant this wine, more of a slow ox and it did improve over a couple of days of consumption. Personally, I'd wait on this wine and I expect a real positive upside. 90+/91 Points.
Day 2: Shows a pretty nice turn after a couple of days for the better. This vintage started off very restricted but did improve with some air (slow-ox) and showed well with food. It's a pretty solid wine. I purchased 4 bottles and I probably won't open another bottle anytime soon. 92+ Points. I guess patience and air paid off.2 people found this helpful 1,875 views

I'll also update my note on this wine as it took a pretty nice turn (slow-ox) after a couple of days for the better. This vintage started off very restricted but did improve with some air and showed well with food. It's a pretty solid wine. I purchased 4 bottles and I probably won't open another bottle anytime soon.
