Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2018 Marjosse is made up of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc with a splash of old Malbec. Big old barrels were used for 25% of the crop. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with a compelling nose of baking spices, raspberry pie, warm red and black currants, rose hip tea and fragrant earth with a waft of wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate is filled with fragrant red and black fruit, framed by great freshness and soft, supple tannins, finishing on a floral note.

A blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Marjosse is the essence of the gourmand, elegant Bordeaux, revealing aromas of rose petal, dark berries, spring flowers and menthol. Medium to full-bodied with a succulent entry, it is perfumed and terribly juicy with a delicate, fruity, ethereal finish. This is a gorgeous value.
