Neil Monnens brought this Torres from his home in Madrid to David Greenwald's "Northwest" tasting -- and since this wine came from the Northwest of Spain, it qualified! This bottling shows dense black fruit and tight tannins; it has a long life ahead of it... $53; 89 points

Penedés is a region in Catalonia, which is NORTHEASTERN Spain, not northwestern Spain.
