A consistently well-made, fruit-driven wine dominated by Merlot, the 2011 Marsau offers up aromas of mocha, blueberries, sweet cherries, loamy soil, roasted herbs and hints of licorice and camphor. It possesses crisp acids, a medium-bodied mouthfeel and a soft, silky finish. Enjoy it in its first 5-6 years of life.

Reserved in character but adequate fruit and fine tannins. Acidity enhances the grip on the finish. Drink 2014-2020. (15 points)
