Abreu, Napa Valley, Thorevilos 2012 Riesling and forest floor3 bottles in original carton 99 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The 2012 Thorevilos is flamboyant, phenomenally concentrated, full bodied, majestic and totally prodigious. It can be drunk young, but most readers will probably prefer to give it a few years of bottle age and consume it over the following 30+ years. Drink through 2048. (RP) 99+ (10 2015) 98 points James Suckling A juicy and savory red with black fruit, pomace and toasted oak.
