Description
Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon 2002Thorevilos
ocb
Bottle (3)
“The 2002 Thorevilos has softened a bit, yet still packs a pretty huge punch. When it was younger, the 2002 was a tannic behemoth. The passage of time has brought out more of the natural richness of the year. Graphite, blackberry, leather, cloves and mocha are all amplified in the glass. The 2002 has enough depth to drink well for at least a few years, but I don't see it improving from here.” (97 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024)
“The classic 2002 Thorevilos, which comes from the white tufa volcanic ash soils of this site, exhibits notes of barbecue smoke, bouquet garni, incense, Christmas fruitcake and gobs of blue and black fruits. It is voluptuously textured and full-bodied, with sweet tannin as well as a flawless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. Both of these wines are tour de force performances from David Abreu and Brad Grimes. They appear set for 25 to perhaps 50 or more years of cellaring. If you can find them - buy them!” (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2012)
