Marojallia Vintage:2009 This was served from half-bottleSlightly higher acidity lower ph than 2009 and more successful for it. This is tighter, darker, black fruits, black pepper, Corsican blood oranges on the nose, a beautiful fragrance that really opens up in the glass, the tannins are velvety on the attack and give grip that lasts through the palate. Aerian, elegant with the clearest Margaux typicity.
