The 2017 Torres Mas La Plana is an iconic and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon from Penedès, Spain, widely regarded as one of the country’s benchmark premium reds. Crafted from estate-grown fruit and aged in French oak, it reflects a powerful yet elegant style, combining depth, structure and finesse. The nose is intense and complex, showing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite and dark chocolate. Subtle hints of spice, vanilla and earthy undertones add further depth.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, well-structured tannins and a rich, concentrated texture. Dark fruit, oak and savoury elements are beautifully integrated, supported by fresh acidity, leading to a long, persistent and sophisticated finish. The style is bold yet refined, with excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a flagship Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon and a must-try for collectors or fans of Bordeaux-style wines. It’s powerful but polished, offering both immediate enjoyment with decanting or the ability to cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with steak, lamb, game or special occasion dining.
