Torres Mas la Plana Cabernet Sauvignon

Wine information: It is more than three decades since this mysterious Spanish wine was born. The label: black. The bottle: Burgundy style. The variety: Cabernet Sauvignon. Few had much faith in this project. Certainly, nobody back in 1979, could have dreamed that it would triumph in a Parisian blind tasting against some of the world's most famous wines. In this small (29 ha.) vineyard only the most select Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are grown. These are used to make strictly limited quantities of Torres’ most prestigious red wine, now known to connoisseurs all over the world. In the Paris Wine Olympiad, the 1970 vintage triumphed over some of the most famouswines in the world, including Chateau Latour. This success has been repeated on several other occasions, with Mas La Plana notching up numerous other international awards. Deep, dense cherry colour, with a touch of mahogany. Wonderfully intense bouquet typical of this vineyard: hints of cranberries, cherries and truffles, with an incense-like quality developed during ageing in wood. Full, elegant and pronounced aftertaste, befitting a wine of this quality. A perfect partner for the finest meat and game dishes.
