Note di degustazione
Lush, round and full-bodied, the wine is concentrated and clearly has depth, but even with a few hours of decanting, the oak is fairly noticeable. I am not sure how well it is going to integrate, even with time.

The 2015 Marojallia is strong. Succulent plum, mocha, lavender and spice flesh out in those deep, plush Margaux. Deep, plush and exotically ripe in the glass, the 2015 is unapologetically flamboyant from start to finish. As good as the 2015s, I feel that, like the Margalaine, a measure of freshness and nuance was lost in aging. I suspect the bottled 2015 would have been closer to the barrel samples had the wine been bottled a bit earlier.
A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot aged in 100% new French oak barrels, the 2015 Marojallia has an earthy, meaty, gamey nose with a core of baked cherries and mulberries and a waft of dusty earth. The palate is firm, chewy, a little lean and astringent with an herbal lift.
Aromatic and bright with currant and flower character. Mushroom undertones. Full-bodied, layered and chewy with lots of ripe tannins and a long, beautiful finish. Powerful. Needs three or four years to soften. Try in 2022.
