■ Adega Algueira, Merenzao, Ribeira Sacra 2014

This wine transforms the drama in the landscape into suave elegance, balanced smoothness and something deliciousl­y magic. 95 Drink 2017-2021 Zárate, Caíño Tinto, Rías Baixas 2015

There is a touch of genius in this wine. I got the impression it is made for the long-run, that time will discover its actual depth. Its understate­d complexity could be the definition of Atlantic character: freshness, minerality, salinity, suaveness, length. 94 Drink 2017-2022 Bodega Vidas, Vides y Vinos, Cien Montañas Carrasquín, Cangas 2015 Cangas could become a classic region, with distinctiv­e character and a topquality grape variety. Lightness of body combines with density of flavour, original and long. I prefer it young as it is now. Very little produced. 93 Drink 2018-2019
