From the partnership of Jean-Luc Thunevin and Muriel Andraud the 2000 Marojallia was thought to be a flash-in-the-pan garage wine in 2000 but it is showing its stature and gravitas with its powerful evolution. The wine has a deep ruby/purple color and a beautiful nose of subtle charcoal jus de viande violets blueberries and black currants. Elegant yet full pure and substantial this wine has wonderful suppleness length and a terrific finish. The tannins are round and the wine ideally should be drunk over the next 10-15+ years.
Opaque dark ruby. Sappy liqueur-like aromas of black cherry black raspberry rose petal and mint. Impressive richness and sappy sweetness in the mouth; lush and dense but enlivened by a floral aspect. Quite concentrated and long with the big rich tannins coating the entire palate. This may not quite match the '99 because the cabernet sauvignon in '99 was nobler and more powerfully structured but this will give pleasure earlier.
