Abreu - Cabernet Sauvignon Thorevilos 2012

WINEADVOCATE: "The 2012 Thorevilos is flamboyant, phenomenally concentrated, full-bodied, majestic and totally prodigious. It can be drunk young, but most readers will probably prefer to give it a few years of bottle age and consume it over the following 30+ years."

WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Floral, black raspberry, wet earth and tobacco might open the wine, but that is only where the fun starts, not where it ends. The wine coats your mouth and palate with flavor and intensity. There is a beautiful sense of purity to the fruit that’s made even better with the vibrant, fresh energetic personality and the sensuous textured finish."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy and savory red with black fruit, pomace and toasted oak. Powerful and tannic. Muscular with amazing form. Full body, bright and beautiful fruit. Grabs your attention, yet subtle. Persistent. Try in 2020. About 300 cases made. March release. "

ANTONIO GALLONI: "The 2012 Thorevilos is deep, powerful and explosive, with massive tannins and structure that dominate. This is the most forbidding of Abreu's 2012s, so it should be cellared for at least a handful of years. All the classic Thorevilos signatures are present though. Hints of mocha, dark chocolate, espresso, crème de cassis and blackberry jam open up, but only gradually. I don't recall ever seeing the Thorevilos being this imposing."
