  There's a lot going on here, and maybe it will all come together with time. But for now, this is disjointed and seems overoaked. I know Magrez is a wizard, but will this prove magic or illusion?

  Smoky, with a touch of chocolate, licorice, espresso, spice and black cherries on the nose and palate come through quickly. Round, lush and polished with a richly textured, fleshy, dark plum, coffee, dark chocolate covered cherry finish, give it a few years of age to start to show its best. Drink from 2024-2037.

  90 vvPunkte (70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, verkostet im Dezember 2021 in Windisch) Helles Rubinrot. Delikate, fruchtige Nase, erinnert an Kirschen und Himbeeren, darüber kräuterige Noten, schwarze Schokolade. Im Auftakt fruchtbetont, zugänglich, kuschelig weich, dabei nicht plump, das Holz ist gut verpackt, die fein gewobenen Tannine stützen. Langer, frischer Abgang. Modern in der Machart, jedoch von sehr guter Qualität. Jetzt (dekantieren) besser ab 2024-2035. vvWine.ch

  A merchant who has received from the Magrez Estates a set of 2019 EP wines in a lovely box with 0.375 bottles organized this tasting. Overall the vintage showed very well, reminiscent of 2009 or 2015. TN: Nice nose with dark fruit and some earthy scents. Not over-extracted volume wise but the tannins are drying unfortunately.

  Reasonably deep coloured; dark fruit on the nose with violets, hint of liquorice and something a little exotic, not as expressive as Turkish Delight but something akin to that; quite closed up and foursquare on the palate. Good density and weight though. Nose suggests good promise here. Quite savoury at present on the palate.
