Mas La Plana Cabernet Sauvignon DO - Miguel Torres

With the Miguel Torres Mas La Plana Cabernet Sauvignon comes a first-class red wine in the wine glass. In this it reveals a wonderfully dense, crimson color. Tilting the glass slightly, a transition of the wine color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. When swirling the glass, this red wine reveals a high viscosity, evident in strong church windows at the rim of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this Old World red wine displays delightfully fragrant and complex aromas of plum, plum, black cherry and mulberry, rounded out by gingerbread spice, cinnamon and cocoa bean contributed by barrel aging.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As expected from a wine of this reputation, this Spaniard naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Taste does not necessarily need sugar. On the tongue, this punchy red is characterized by an incredibly fleshy, dense and silky texture. The finish of this well-maturing red wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia, more precisely from Penedès DO, finally impresses with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes of the limestone-dominated soils.
