- Solid Spanish red
Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was good enough to track down myself. It's well put together — fruit, acidity, everything sits nicely. The finish is clean and sticks around just long enough. Not life-changing but a dependable bottle when you want something a step up from the usual.

- Nice but bit steep
Bought this for a birthday dinner. It's a decent red, structured and layered, but at nearly £26 I expected a bit more wow factor. The nose is lovely and it drinks smoothly, I just think there are Spanish reds at £15-18 that get you most of the way there. Would drink it again if someone else was buying!

- Really impressed with this one
Picked this up from my local wine shop on their recommendation and glad I did. Really expressive nose — you can smell the fruit straight away without even swirling. Lovely balance to it, not too heavy for a red but plenty going on. At £25 it's not an everyday bottle but I'd happily buy it again for a nice meal.

- Bierzo is so underrated
Been trying more wines from Bierzo lately and this is a great example of why. Really clean winemaking — nothing hidden or overdone, just proper fruit and structure. Goes brilliantly with lamb or a rich pasta. 14% but doesn't taste boozy at all. Veronica Ortega clearly knows what she's doing.
