2011 Torres Cabernet Sauvignon (Black Label) Mas La Plana
Community Tasting Note
johnrm Likes this wine:
92 Points
Friday, September 8, 2017 - Very deep colour, totally opaque. Excellent, almost sweet, fruit now but with a great future. Superb, complex fruits with dark cherries taking over late. Lovely balance now but this wine has decades ahead of it. I think I have been a bit mean with my score - it will deserve a much higher score as it grows and matures. I don't understand the current score on CT which is shown as 88.7 and doesn't seem to reflect the opinions of reviewers. 92++
Tasted at Grand Union Wine Society with Nick Gent of Rodney Densem Wines and Ed Hobbs of John E Fells, UK importer of Torres wines.

For me,it was closed on opening....dya like that!..... on 45 mins it let you know that it needed time. Going to set it aside for 48 hrs and open a proven PnP. I expect to be a happy man on Monday evening.

I never, ever pnp a decent red - I have gradually developed a feel for which wines need an hour and which need 24 (CT notes make it easier for me). Decanting always helps and, of course, is crucial for older bottles with sediment.
