Tor Pure Magic Napa Cabernet 2022 Rated 98JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 98
So sleek, elegant and concentrated, but supple and silky. This melts in the mouth, with blueberries, cream, mocha, creme de cassis, chocolate and mint. Full-bodied, gently tannic, nicely balanced and tempting to drink now. Totally delicious and luscious. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.
