64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot. 18 months in new oak. Michel Rolland as consultant. Some green pepper and smoked cassis. Very, very dense. Almost solid. But tannins are ripe. Just too concentrated so that it ends rather bitter. Over-extracted and hot on the finish. Far from typical Margaux, from Thunevin. (JH)

Ruby-red. Sexy aromas of cherry, mocha and sweet oak. Fat, lush and sweet, with broad chocolatey fruit spreading out on the back half. A very supple style. Drink this appealing second wine while giving Marojallia at least five years in the cellar.
