Robert Parker (Apr 06)
Performing better this year than it did in 2004, the brilliant 2003 is one of the top wines of the Margaux appellation. Its saturated purple color is accompanied by a sumptuous perfume of charcoal, graphite, blackberries, and blueberries. Layered, medium to full-bodied, with terrific precision, surprising freshness as well as vigor for a wine from this vintage, and plenty of tannin, depth, and length, it should be at its finest between 2008-2022.

Although this small vineyard is owned by the Porcheron family, Marojallia is the garage operation of Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle. Sadly, production is usually less than 500 cases.
