Torres - Mas La Plana 2008 75cl Bottle

Product Description

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. Yet it marked the start of a new era in wine making: a time in which to stop dreaming & embark on a new journey, year after year, harvest after harvest. 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 Gran Coronas Mas La Plana notching up numerous other international awards. Intense aroma showing all the classic characteristics of the native land of Mas La Plana, together with notes of truffle, toast & wild red berry conserve. Great body & breadth on the palate, with juicy tannins that become balanced & elegant. This wine's noble & healthy tannins will complement the best meat & game dishes. Serve at 17
