2021 Artemis Karamolegos Pyritis Mega Cuvee Santorini 91 Points
Greece, Aegean, Cyclades, Santorini
Wine Pairing @ Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona. Grapes planted in chalky soil. 3rd generation family's hobby! Lots of minerality. Color - almost translucent. Not as sweet as the previous wine in the paring (Aligo Rythm). Super citrusy on the palate. High alcohol but very balanced. Nose very sweet smelling - floral and citrusy. Smells like an unripe peach

2021 Domaine Gross Riesling Rhapsodie 88 Points
France, Alsace
Wine Pairing @ Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona. Orange wine paired with white asparagus (which was in season - wonderful dish!). Good pairing. Nose is pungent. Smells oceanic - fishy? Some fruit (strawberries) but not ripe. Palate is citrusy. Like when you bite on a grape seed but somewhat dry. Medium orange color. My score reflects my <meh> of orange wine but could tell this is a quality wine.

2018 Joan Rubió Penedès Obstinat Xarel-lo 93 Points
Spain, Catalunya, Penedès
Wine Pairing @ Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona. Catalan wine. The grapes used in this wine are normally used for cava. Some skin contact. Darker color than other orange wines. More fragrant nose. Lighter taste. Green peas. Nose fragrant. Tastes like lime. Very balanced with low alcohol. Nose almost like old Bordeaux. Hints of Jasmine on nose. One of the best wines of the flight!

2017 Vinedos de Alcohuaz Grenache Cuesta Chica 93 Points
Chile, Elqui Valley
Wine Pairing @ Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona. From Magnum and I believe I received the last glass from the Mag. Paired with Suckling pig.
Ruby color. Lovely nose - sweet flower. Palate balanced with integrated tannins. Very dry yet fruity and fresh. Fantastic pairing! I had one of those close your eyes for a few seconds and enjoy the 3* goodness moments with this pairing :)

2018 Château Le Puy Cuvée Emilien 91 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Francs Côtes de Bordeaux
Wine Pairing @ Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona. Paired with lamb. Bright red color. Balanced wine with integrated tannins. To be fair I could tell this was a very good wine and a good pairing, but reflected in my rating is the fact that I was a bit tired of Bordeaux wine after spending the week before in Bordeaux doing tastings at 2-3 properties for 5 days straight! Regardless, this was not in the same league as the VCC, Mouton, Cheval Blanc etc I had been tasting recently
