The 2017 Thorevilos is one of those rare wines that conveys both power and elegance. Today, the tannins are a bit imposing, but that's Thorevilos. What impresses most is the wine's delineation and clarity. All the elements are so impeccably balanced. Inky dark fruit, mocha, licorice, spice and leather are some of the many notes that pulse through the 2017. Best of all, the 2017 is not as brooding as some other recent vintages, and it will be ready to deliver pleasure with just a few years in bottle. It is a mind-blowing wine in every way.

Lots of truffle, sandalwood, and spicy wood characteristics emerge from the 2017 Thorevilos, another elegant 2017 with ripe tannins, notable balance, and medium to full-bodied richness. As with all of Brad’s wines, the purity of fruit, balance, and just sheer class are remarkable. It’s going to benefit from short-term bottle age but keep for 25+.

Incredible blackberries, blueberries and black cherries. Sandalwood, tile and terracotta. Sweet tobacco, too. A solid core of fruit here with tension and focus. Really framed and polished. Gorgeous. Savory finish. Mouthwatering. Drink after 2023, but hard not to drink now.

The 2017 Thorevilos is sensual, polished and nuanced, marked by notes of savory herbs, licorice, mint, iron, smoke, red cherry and crushed flowers. I am amazed by how sensual and plush the tannins are for both the year and the site. Blood orange, spice, tar and rose petal flesh out in the glass, adding a striking dimension of exoticism. The 2017 is incredibly elegant and nuanced, not to mention incredibly promising.
