Energetic loganberry and blackberry fruit pumps along, supported by a fresh-edged bay leaf and iron finish. This has concentration, but it's silky and refined Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
Dark purple. Rather obvious sweet oak on the nose. Then firm, even a little uncomfortably dry, on the palate. A bit too exaggerated for me. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2030
A total pleasure bomb, the 2015 Marojallia is flat-out stunning. This spectacularly rich, flamboyant Margaux is endowed with serious depth to match its deep, unctuous personality. Layers of dark red cherry, plum, smoke, violets and menthol build as the wine opens up with air. Don't expect subtlety or restraint; Marojallia is an extravagantly lush, vivid, modern Margaux. But you will want a second glass after your first, and another after that. Marojallia is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot that saw 4-5 weeks on the skins and 100% new oak. Christophe Coupez and Michel Rolland consult. Wow! Tasted three times. Apr 2016, www.Vinous.com
