Dark plums and even darker chocolate along with mushrooms, wet earth, licorice and smoke create the bouquet. The wine is rich, full, deep, fresh and ready to deliver its layers of ripe, rich, supple-textured black cherries, spice and dark chocolate on the palate and in the finish. Give this about 2 years in the cellar and it will be a treat for 15 or more ears after that. Drink from 2024-2039.

Licorice, chocolate, black cherry, smoke and vanilla are all over the place. Silky, soft and polished, this medium-bodied gem is forward, fresh, fruity and vibrant. La Marzelle is a hot property that keeps getting better and still sells for a fair price.

After the ripe, sweet, black raspberries, plum and licorice, you find truffle notes in the background. The wine has density, silky tannins, freshness and a fruity finish that really works. This is already tasty, and it is going to age well too!

Here you find that elusive combination of a great, stylish wine, with good character selling for a fair price. The licorice coated, black cherries, dark chocolate and juicy plums are there from the initial sniff, through to the finial sip. This is already tasty, and it is going to age well too!

This is a winner! The texture, with its silky, plummy, concentrated, sweet fruits, blast of licorice and earth, with hints of cocoa and licorice is a pleasure to taste. Young, obviously, but this is going to get better with 5-8 years of age.

With good color, the wine opens with black licorice, earth and dark chocolate-covered berries. Silky, elegant and supple with weight and density, the fruits are ripe, fresh and polished. With Jean-Luc Thunevin helping, this wine has really kicked it up another notch in just a few years!

Showing better than it did during the April tastings, the wine is richer, fleshier and sweeter, with softer textures and additional complexities. With a high price to quality to ratio, this is a wine to keep track of as it continues to develop. 90-92 Pts

This is the best wine the property has ever made. Jean Luc Thunevin, who was recently brought in as the new consultant, has done an excellent turn for the estate. Revealing the deepest color ever for a La Marzelle wine, it is flush with licorice, plum, coffee bean, black cherries and fresh, forward, polished textures. The wine was made from a blend of 0% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. 88-90 Pts

Medium-bodied, almost light, the wine is round, soft, and close to fully developed with a core of earthy, dark cherry and licorice notes. It should be noted that starting with the 2015 vintage, the wines here are markedly better.
