Lots of blackcurrant and blackberry character here, together with refined, polished spicy notes. Medium- to full-bodied with a nicely controlled release of fruit and oak through the palate and long finish. Spot-on this vintage. Well done. Very refined barbera that's delicious now, but will continue to age well in the bottle. Drink or hold. Score - 93. (jamessuckling.com, June 2, 2021)

Zagreus Reserve Mavrud

Bottle Size: 750 mL bottle

Alcohol/Vol: 13.4%

Varietal: 100% Mavrud


This pours deep purple-black. It has lifted almost overripe plummy-raisin and blackberry fruit nose that reminds me of vintage port. There is also violet florality and quite generous oak vanilla and spice. It is full bodied, dense, very smooth and sweet-edged, but amid all this fruit concentration, and alcohol heat and considerable twiggy tannin, the sweetness serves well. The length is excellent. This should age nicely. Score - 91. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Oct. 13, 2020)

Bottle Size: 750 mL bottle

Alcohol/Vol: 14%

Varietal: Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc


Despite the intense summer heat that Bordeaux experienced in 2019, the red wines remain fresh and balanced. The season gave us ripe, structured wines that '... combine the textural creaminess of the 2009s with the vibrancy of the 2010s and the slightly linear construction of the 2014s' (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, June 18, 2020). This example is floral, with bright red fruit and supple, polished tannins.
