Country: Spain / Gran Coronas Reserva
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Catalonia
Winery: Torres / Penedès
This Cabernet from one of Spain’s best-known producers is mature and structured. An attractive, complex nose offers berry, tobacco and leather aromas, while the wine is darkly fruited and a touch brown at the edge. Finishes long and dry, with some drying tannins. Drink now through 2006. Despite the tannins, sooner is preferable, as the fruit seems fully mature. —M.M.
