2011 Torres Mas La Plana Cabernet Sauvignon [WS93][WA92][W&S92]

"This polished red is focused and harmonious, with plum, cassis, licorice, tobacco and mineral notes that mingle gracefully over well-integrated tannins. Marries density and freshness, presenting a long, savory finish. Drink now through 2026." 

"The 2011 Mas La Plana is a textbook warm climate Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the first ever produced in Spain. It's a ripe vintage (warm harvest), but the wine shows restraint and balance, with classical blackberry and cigar box aromas—in line with the 2010 vintage that was also excellent. It has fine, classical Cabernet tannins and good acidity. Nicely balanced and ready for a good development in bottle." 

"Miguel Torres was a pioneer when it came to importing French varieties to Spain. Torres Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic, first released in 1970. The latest vintage is filled with herbal and cassis notes in a powerful, generous cabernet. Its structure is strong, rich in tannins and flavors, lending the wine a youthful feel. Give it two to three years in the cellar as it will gain complexity with age."
