The 2005 Grand Mayne has a broody bouquet, quite closed compared to the 2004 with black rather than red fruit, laced with chimney soot and tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, bold structure and superb acidity keeping everything tied together. Plenty of energy here, white pepper and clove notes towards the vibrant, Tuscan-tinged finish, completing one of the finest Grand Mayne releases in recent years. Superb. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.

Grand Mayne’s 2005 (a blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a sexy, fleshy St.-Emilion with a dense ruby/purple color and loads of blueberry, cassis and black raspberry fruit. It is medium to full-bodied, luscious, and already drinkable, although capable of lasting another 10-15 years.

Tasted single blind at Southwold. This has a ripe nose with blackberry, liquorice and a hint of minerals. A tannic palate, nice grip, well balanced with ripe plum and mulberry. Chocolaty finish – good personality with very good weight. Showy and decadent as always. Drink 2012-2020+ Tasted January 2009.

Sehr dunkles Granat, lila Rand, satte Mitte. Wuchtiges Bouquet, zu Beginn etwas alkoholisch, dann mit einer verschwenderischen Fruchtladung nachladend, gekochte Pflaumen und Black-Currant-Noten, im Hintergrund auch eine Spur Honig mit Rosinen. Mundfüllender Gaumenbeginn, voluminöser Körper, von reifen Tanninen in Form gehalten, noch dazu mit genügend Reserven für weitere Jahrzehnte im kühlen Keller. Wirkt für einen Grand-Mayne etwas «laut», widerspiegelt aber natürlich auch einen heroischen Weinjahrgang. In zehn Jahren könnte der Wein die 19/20 schaffen. 2016 – 2040

Classic aromas of blueberries, cedar, vanillin, black currants, and spring flowers jump from the glass of this dense purple-colored St.-Emilion. Broad, rich, jammy fruit flavors compete with the full-bodied, highly-extracted style that exhibits moderate tannin as well as excellent overall harmony and purity. This cuvee tends to be made in a dense, chewy style, and the 2005 may ultimately rival Grand-Mayne’s brilliant 1998. Anticipated maturity: now-2022. A sleeper of the vintage!
