Powerful, polished and impressive, showing great concentration and depth. A good portion of petit verdot adds even darker fruit to the majority of cabernet sauvignon. This offers dried blueberries, crushed blackberries, cocoa, graphite, minerals and dusky plums on muscular tannins that will carry it for decades. Full-bodied. Best after 2030. 98p James Suckling

The Story

The Black Magic is always the most intense and dark/tension filled wine of TOR's when young. Showing loads of roasted meats, Christmas baking spices, black currant and anise on the initial taste and beginning of the palate. This has copious black tea and graphite notes on the mid palate, which just exudes power and richness, before it slowly tapers off to a finish that just doesn’t seem to quit for minutes on end.

Written Notes

Blackcurrants, blueberries and ink. Crushed porcelain. Graphite dust. The palate is full but hemmed-in and compacted with incredible length. The polish is something else. The tannins melt into the wine at the end. Such impressive quality here. A benchmark. Made from predominantly cabernet sauvignon with a small portion of cabernet franc co-fermented. 150 cases. Crazy to drink this now but you could. But hold it for five years, minimum. Try after 2028.
