"Ripe, smooth berry and currant aromas come with a note of graphite on a convincing nose that promises great things to come. The palate on this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc is smooth and pure, with modest but notable acidic kick. Blackberry, cassis and black pepper flavors are on the money, while this registers as composed, balanced and holding more in store; drink from 2024-2045. Michael Schachner"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torres Reserva Real" from the vintage 2011 on 01.01.2018 with 96 of 100 points.
"Spicy berry aromas are herbal, classy, elevated and lay out the red carpet for what's to come. This Bordeaux-style blend is deep and pure in feel, with energy, tannic power and depth. Blackened, toasty flavors include a ton of natural and wood-aided spice notes, licorice and pepper in particular. A well-built finish with chocolate and oak flavors concludes this superb Catalonian red. Drink 2020-2040. Michael Schachner"

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torres Reserva Real" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2011 with 93 of 100 points.
"An outstanding Bordeaux-style blend from Spain. Ripe and lusty aromas of deep berry fruits, vanilla and balsam shavings are excellent. Weighty and saturated on the palate, with elevated cherry, toast, coffee and chocolate flavors. Toes the line between sweet and dry; drink now through 2020."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torres Reserva Real" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2010 with 94 of 100 points.
"A beauty of a wine, with black plum, berry, cocoa, sandalwood and moss on the nose. The palate is huge but perfectly balanced, with flavors of tobacco, blackberry and cassis. The blend is straight from Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Merlot), but everything else screams Spain. Pure, long, smooth and easy in terms of tannic bite, with good aging potential. Drink 2012-2020."

"Plenty of new oak is announced via aromas of coconut, mint, vanilla and burnt toast. but offsetting that is lively berry and cola flavors. As it opens and settles in, you get a wall of fierce tannins that aren't likely to fade any time soon. So unless you have years to cellar this wine, it will likely hold onto its hard, tannic personality. Hold another three years, if possible."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torres Reserva Real" from the vintage 2000 on 01.01.2005 with 88 of 100 points.
"This Bordeaux-style blend features enticing aromas of molasses, licorice, leather and plum, and while the palate satisfies, it doesn't quite live up to the hype built by the bouquet. The feel is soft, as if the edges had slipped away. Still, it offers good mouthfeel and decent depth."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Torres Reserva Real" from the vintage 1998 on 01.01.2004 with 92 of 100 points.
"Miguel Torres is aiming high with this heavyweight single-vineyard Cabernet that was bottled back in 2000. The bouquet is classy and deep, with sweet rubber, licorice and berry notes. Cassis, blackberry and chocolate compete on the palate, while the finish is much like flourless chocolate cake and a cup of espresso rolled into one. Clearly the class of the Torres Cabernets."
