Tasting notes
Really rather intense and dramatic on the nose. Sweet and flattering with some structure. More than a hint of cocoa but not ridiculously oaky nor alcoholic. Quite a charge of well-managed tannins. (JR)

The 2015 La Marzelle is a sultry, sensual wine. Open, radiant and alluring, it captures all the natural radiance of the year in its exotic, flamboyant personality. Succulent red cherry, plum, new leather, spice and floral overtones gain resonance as this super-expressive Saint-Émilion gains volume with time in the glass. Tasted three times.
The 2015 la Marzelle is deep garnet-purple in color with gorgeous crushed blackberries and black cherries on the nose plus cedar chest, Chinese five spice and chocolate box nuances. The medium to full-bodied palate has great concentration and lovely ripe, plush tannins with seamless freshness and good length.
