Extrem dunkles Violett-Purpur. Toastiges Bouquet, viel Redcurrantnoten, gekochte Kirschen und eine vanillige Süsse, aber auch hölzerne Noten in der Nase zeigend. Sehr stoffiger, direkter Gaumen, wiederum viel Frucht die aber in sich unreife Komponenten zeigt, körniger sandiger Fluss, mehr Kraft als Charme, endet brutal hölzern. Völlig übertriebene Vinifikation die überhaupt nicht zum Jahrgang passt.

Château Marojallia
Château Marojallia is a small 4-hectare Margaux estate, located in the commune of Arsac. While the estate attaches 'château' to its name, the wine does not as it is a fairly recent creation only first released in 1999. Marojallia means Margaux in Latin, and it is considered by some, as the first garage wine in the Médoc. Its vineyards were originally owned by Roger Rex but later sold to Philippe Porcheron, its current owner. Porcheron joined up with Muriel Andraud, the wife of Jean-Luc Thunevin of Valandraud who began making the wine. Both Michel Rolland and Riccardo Cotarella came in as consultants. Its first release, the 1999, was described by France's leading critic Michel Bettane as "outstanding". Understandably modern in style, it offers notable opulence with lots of concentrated, sweet fruit and new toasty oak.
