A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot brought up in new oak, from vines planted between Le Tertre and Monbrison in the Arsac region of Margaux, the 2017 Chateau Marojallia is a great effort that puts its foot on the ripeness pedal, yet stays classy and balanced. Smoked black fruits, charcoal, graphite, and candied violets notes all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, has plenty of oomph and opulence, yet has a spine of clean acidity keeping it balanced and pure. Give it 3-4 years or bottle age and it should shine for two decades or more.
