Mas la Plana is my favourite Cab from Spain 🇪🇸 grown in Penedès. Having had my last 05 last year which was superb I was keen to see if this 30 year old 89 @ €63 would still be alive & to my surprise it is 😁 I still prefer these with 7-12 years of age 😉

Nice Montsant - 70% Carigneña and 30% garnacha with an appealing balance of red and black fruit - strawberry, violet, black cherry, plum, forest floor , truffle and a meaty character. Medium bodied, 14.5% abv, lovely with cheese and speck. Good value. — 10 months ago
