Torres Mas La Plana 2003

Deep dense cherry colour, with a touch of mahogany. Wonderfully intense bouquet typical of this vineyard: hints of cranberries, cherries and truffles, with an incense-like quality developed during ageing in wood. Full, elegant and pronounced aftertaste, befitting a wine of this quality. more
