Château Grand Mayne

Lisa Perrotti-Brown 89-91+:"The 2017 Grand Mayne is deep garnet-purple in color and offers up notions of cassis, red currant jelly and plum preserves with hints of cigar box and incense. Medium to full-bodied, it has a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy." robertparker.com 04.2018 // Neal Martin 90-92:"The 2017 Grand Mayne has quite a powerful, voluminous bouquet with red berry fruit, smoke and truffle aromas, not quite delivering the same level of delineation as the previous vintage but still nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, clean and precise with a fine bead of acidity. It is a lighter style of Grand Mayne compared to the wines of ten years ago, more nimble on its feet. The finish is lively, uncomplicated and quite mineral-driven, completing what is a fine follow-up to the 2016, though this will drink earlier." vinous.com 04.2018 // James Molesworth 89-92:"Well-focused, with bright raspberry, plum and red licorice notes racing along, set against a backdrop of brambly structure." winespectator.com
