Impressive. That's perhaps the key word for Torres Mas la Plana. Our oenologists were unanimous: this is a fantastic wine! The young wine is aged for 18 months in the finest new oak Nevers has to offer. This is reflected in the aroma and flavor. Starting with the aroma, your nose will be working overtime. You'll smell so much: blackcurrant, licorice, toffee, but also truffle and licorice. The flavor is at least as incomparable as the aroma. Full, rich, and powerful. A typical Cabernet Sauvignon. Distinctive cherry and cassis notes form the base. Let the wine steep a few times.
