92 points by Falstaff for the 2020 https://www.falstaff.com/pd/w/mar-de-frades-2020-mar-de-frades-albarino-atlantico/ 2020 Ripe lemon, juicy yellow pear, wet stone but also creaminess are vivid on the nose, suggesting ripeness and smoothness, It is on the palate that the freshness hits with real but ripe lemony zing. This is incredibly mouth-watering and comes with electric acidity and brightness. There is real concentration, pithy texture and the aftertaste is entirely zesty and oh so wonderfully salty. If you need refreshment, this is it. Tasting: Falstaff International London Editorial Tastings ; Tasted by: Anne Krebiehl MW Published on 01.06.2021

95 points by Falstaff for the 2016 https://www.falstaff.com/pd/w/mar-de-frades-2016-mar-de-frades-finca-valinas-albarino-atlantico/ Green walnut skin, yeast and lemon pith are subtle but harmonious on the nose. The palate has a wonderfully lifted, soaring note of purest lemon and an intense saltiness that fills the mouth. The bone-dry nature makes no concessions to the rapier acidity and the concentrated body seems to heighten all the freshness and saline nature even more. This is exquisitely fresh and uncompromisingly thrilling, a wine full of character with years ahead of it.
