The 2018 Beckstoffer To Kalon 'Pure Magic' is an absolute gem from Tor in this vintage, which is composed from Cabernet Sauvignon from B, D and F blocks as well as Cabernet Franc from F block. This instantly opens to seductive aromas of ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, lead pencil shavings, violets and wet gravel, along with hints of tobacco and licorice that all burst from the glass. The palate is absolutely stunning, full-bodied and seamless, with an incredible deep concentrated inner-core that pumps out layers of perfectly ripe dark fruits which continue to resonate all the way through the long expressive finish. This is an absolute masterpiece that delivers on every level, hats off to Tor and his winemaking team on this truly exceptional wine.
