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.

Definitely improved aging in the wine cellar. Very nice appellation wine with red and dark red fruit, good underlying structure, light oak flavors and some spice. Tried giving it extended decant to deepen but never improved much beyond "nice". A good food wine.

A handful for one of the few social distancing with vaccinated friend. 2015 W&M Cabernet, 2014 Lewis Reserve, 2013 Tor followed by Penta and Esperanza Tequila. No notes, some memory
PnP and then decanted for 2.5 hours with best sip at the end of the night. This is a strange note fir me as the wine drank much older than it was (10-12 years) but still has fruit left (as it should at 8 years of age) to make it a real compelling wine. The aged notes lifted the overall experience to increase what was previously a disappointing wine to something interesting and enjoyable. Drink now and be surprised (if you tasted previously, all is not lost).
