Billing itself as the first “garage wine” from the appellation of Margaux, this comes from a property owned by Philippe Porcheron. The wine, made with meticulous care by the partnership of Muriel Andraud and Jean-Luc Thunevin, consistently performs well above its pedigree. Still youthful, exuberant and rich, this wine has a dense ruby/purple color and beautiful notes of violets, graphite and crème de cassis as well as some blueberry fruit. It is well-endowed, medium to full-bodied, and stunningly proportioned. This wine should continue to evolve and drink well for another 15 or more years. Drink 2015 - 2030.
Possibly the finest Marojallia made to date, the 2005 boasts an opaque blue/black color as well as a beautiful perfume of acacia flowers, creme de cassis, blueberries, licorice, and subtle smoke and mineral characteristics. Full-bodied, elegant, pure, and dense, with sensational texture, sweet tannin, and a stunning finish, it will be at its finest between 2012-2025.
This is the finest effort yet produced by this garagiste Margaux operation. Its inky/black/purple color and gorgeous aromas of melted licorice, sweet creme de cassis, blackberries, smoke, and melted licorice are spectacular. Full-bodied and powerful yet incredibly fresh, well-delineated, and layered, this stunningly proportioned 2005 should age effortlessly for 25+ years. Stunning!
