“This is big, rich and full-bodied, while the palate is powerful and has bags of energy, delivering impressive tension and firm, grainy tannins, finishing with fantastic length and many, many layers.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate | 100 points
“The 2018 Black Magic is an outrageously beautiful wine that captures all the best vintage has to offer. Dark, pliant, and mysterious, the Black Magic is ravishing right out of the bottle… As for the wine itself, well it is unreal. WOW!” Antonio Galloni | 100 points
“2018 Black Magic is… another incredible wine from this talented team…Full-bodied and powerful, yet built like high fashion with sensational elegance, it has flawless tannins, perfect balance, and a gorgeous finish that keeps you coming back to the glass.” Jeb Dunnuck | 100 points
“The 2018 ‘Black Magic’ is once again a showstopper from TOR… This is a truly majestic wine that checks all the boxes.” International Wine Report | 100 points
“Fresh, bright, exotic and totally alluring. Beautiful and classic with refined black cherry and black berry aromatics with nuances of tobacco spices and rich earthy hummus notes. The same heady aromatics make a full showing on the full-bodied palate, layered with super silky and creamy fruit, all perfectly delineated and expressive, guiding to an exceptionally long and lifted mineral-rich finish. It is effortlessly seamless and very approachable but built for long-term cellaring.” Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter | 100 points
