Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Marjosse comes barreling out of the glass with rambunctious scents of cassis, crushed blackberries and black plum preserves, followed by hints of dark chocolate, anise and tar, plus a fragrant waft of lavender. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy and wonderfully refreshing, delivering wonderful poise and expression with a fun burst of pure black fruit on the finish. Delicious!

In comparison with the 2018 and 2019, the 2020 Marjosse has a darker, more complex bouquet with aromas of dark wild berries, licorice, coniferous forest, lilac and cassis intertwined with green pepper and tobacco notes. Medium-bodied, balanced and fleshy, it’s juicy and refreshing despite its darker character on the finish.
