Marojallia 2015 (750ML)

92 Points, Neal Martin: "The 2015 Marojallia, a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, has a clean and pure floral bouquet with rose petal-infused raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, crisp acidity, nicely balanced with quite a structured, maybe short finish that should gain more volume with bottle age. Give this three or four years in bottle because there is wonderful freshness here and a second bottle evidenced more complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2020 - 2032. " 2/18

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "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." 2/18

92 Points, James Suckling: "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." 2/18

93 Points, James Molesworth: Wine Spectator: "Lush and warm, with captivating blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry compote flavors gliding over a polished structure. Bright violet and lilac notes flash through the finish, which is scored with anise and toasted apple wood details. A beautiful display of fruit. Best from 2020 through 2030. 1,250 cases made." 3/18
