95 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "One of the few 2024s in bottle was the 2024 Cíes, a village Albariño from different soils and expositions fermented in neutral barrels of different sizes, where it matured for eight months. The year is characterized by good ripeness; this has 13.3% alcohol and notable balancing acidity and freshness. It's clean, expressive and serious, with a salty twist and a faint bitter twist in the finish. Drink: 2025-2032. (7/24/25)"
95 points Tim Atkin, MW: "[13%] Rodri Méndez sells this under his own, eponymous label rather than the Forjas del Salnés brand, even though all his whites are made in pretty much the same way. Amazing value, it uses grapes from 17 parcels in Meaño and has lovely palate weight and freshness, with subtle wood spices, racy minerality and a pithy, granitic finish. 2025-2028. (2025)"
93 points Jacobo García Andrade (JamesSuckling.com): "This has notes of white peaches and citrus zest. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, angular and precise, with great fruit volume yet an equally austere, mineral finish. Drink now. (10/14/25)"
