\u201cWine trends are changing. The style and balance are back to stay over the large extractions and over-ripeness\u201d. This is just one of the most shocking and indisputable affirmations Ra\u00fcl Bobet<\/strong> pronounced yesterday May 16th during his own wines tasting at the event organized by Torres Winery at the Hotel Palace in Barcelona. Having the majestic Ra\u00fcl Bobet right in front of you puts everyone in his place. His own presence proves that with great humbleness you can succeed in the wine world. All of them were exceptional wines and we were surprised to check the amazing longevity of these wines. We witnessed great wines that should not envy any of the best wines in the world. We will finally quote Ra\u00fcl\u2019s philosophy: \u201ctasting a wine is a journey to a beautiful landscape\u201d. I believe his words represent an important value. By preserving the authenticity and the identity of each area we will be able to identify the qualities \u2013 good or bad- and diversity of wines.<\/p>\n We would finally like to thank Ra\u00fcl and the Torres Family for giving us this great opportunity of sharing with them a superb evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWine trends are changing.

\nDuring his presentation, the concept of \u201cbalance<\/strong>\u201d was constantly repeated. Like his own wines, Ra\u00fcl embodies stability, common sense, honesty and professionalism.
\nDuring this superb event organized by Torres Winery, we were honored to taste:
\nFransola 2009
\nFransola 2004
\nMilmanda 2008
\nMilmanda 2003
\nMilmanda 1997
\nMas la Plana 2007
\nMas la Plana 1989
\nMas la Plana 1976 – Black Label
\nReserva Real 2007
\nReserva Real 1998
\nGrans Muralles 2006
\nGrans Muralles 1996<\/p>\n
\nI was especially surprised by the silky and intense Milmanda 2003<\/strong> and by the great Milmanda 1997<\/strong> with a long life ahead but with a mineral look. In second place, Fransola 2009<\/strong>, vivid and fresh, intense and with the perfect ripening \u2013we might be able to drink it during 20 years more- or the Fransola 2004<\/strong> more oily and stout but not as long-lived.
\nThe Reserva Real 1998<\/strong> shows vegetable hints and less tamed tannins. It is an authentic wine that might even be compared to the great Bordeaux.
\nAnd last but not least, the Mas la Plana 1976<\/strong> has proved itself as the great promise of the day. It is a stylish, intense, with iodine hints of a great Islay- an amazing wine indeed.<\/p>\n
