David Abreu's 2010 Thorevilos stands apart from all of the other wines in this range for its massive, inky concentration. It is also the last of these wines to be released, which may explain its intense power. A host of graphite, smoke, incense, tobacco, spice and black fruit gradually open up, but the 2010 is a wine for the future... Drinking window: 2018 - 2040. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Smooth and silky but robust chocolate and blue fruit. Was just a touch hot on the finish prevented a higher score. Notwithstanding that, I couldn't stop drinking it.

Big and still tight but this is going to be a gem. Nose screams black pepper, French vanilla coffee, and black cherry. Palate literally crushes your taste buds with plum and tannins that are accented by charred cedar. Finish goes on forever

2010 vintage. Heavy body. Well made but a bit too sweet for this geezer.
