Four Mas La Plana's

2000 Torres Mas la Plana;
Deep ruby, the oak is a bit big, I hope the fruit will overcome it, some liquorice and cherries in the back, then some red plums. Good acidity, well balanced and good fruit behind the oak. 82


1994 Torres Mas la Plana;
Elegant ruby red, this is completely different, some smoked meat, dark fruits, fresh strawberry jam, elegant, the oak is integrated, fresh acidity, very ripe tannins, quite youthfull still, long finish. 89


1991 Torres Mas la Plana;
Garnet red. This is far simpler, the lean body and fruit makes the oak shine a bit through, but it has a certain elegance and finesse still that is refined. Drink. 80


1989 Torres Gran Coronas Mas la Plana;
Garnet, mahogany towards rim. Such an elegant nose. Hints of liquorice, cedar, white chocolate, cigars, som blackcurrants and blueberries, then over to cherries and prunes. Very elegant and well put together, complex, fresh acidity, long length. One of, if not the best Mas la Plana I've had. 92
