Château Marojallia - Margaux - Red - 1999 - 1500 ml :

 

The Garage Wine Icon of Margaux: Château Marojallia

The name Marojallia is the ancient Latin name for Margaux, and this wine pays homage to that legacy. As the original 'Vin de Garage' of the appellation, this is a highly concentrated, meticulously crafted wine from a small, prized vineyard owned by Philippe Porcheron.

Tasting Profile (Reference Vintage)

• Appearance: A profound, almost impenetrable deep garnet color, a true sign of density and quality.
• Bouquet: A sophisticated blend of ripe black fruit (cassis, mulberry), intertwined with classic Margaux notes of violet, cigar box, and a luxurious hint of mocha from its new oak maturation.
• Mouthfeel: Rich, full, and beautifully textured. The tannins are powerful but incredibly fine-grained, giving a 'velvet glove' sensation. The wine possesses superb aging potential and a wonderfully persistent finish.

Recommended Pairings & Serving

To fully appreciate its complexity, this wine benefits significantly from 90 to 120 minutes of decanting. It is the quintessential partner for a premium Sunday Roast or rich game dishes. Serve slightly below room temperature.
