Although Cabernet Sauvignon is present in many of Spain's great wines (from Vall Llach and Clos Mogador, to Vega Sicilia, to El Nido to name a few) there are very few world class monovarietal Cabernets made in Spain, Torres' Mas La Plana perhaps being the most well-known. Pago Valdebellón is less well known, and deserves more attention, although the winery that makes it is famous. The 2005 has characteristics that we've come to expect from Abadía Retuerta: precision, focus, purity, concentration and length. The nose exudes and oaky, smoky, horsey, leathery bouquet that is quite marvellous and original. It is interesting that Cabernet is so adaptable and capable of such a range of expressions. I struggle to see the locality, the origin, of this wine, but it's a very impressive effort. 93-94 points.
