Marcien is mysterious and complex. So much so, it’s difficult to capture its grace with words. Beautiful, soulful, dark cherry and violet aromas backed with dried sage and a little nutmeg are just the tip of the iceberg on what is happening in this wine. Still tightly wound from youth, there is a core of firm acidity and fine ripe fruit and wood tannins. Wine is about balance and this vintage of Marcien walks the tightrope in perfect form.
