Note di degustazione
The 1989 Grand Mayne was apparently one of Jean-Pierre Nony’s favourite vintages. Perusing three of my own tasting notes, it is also one of mine, though I have tempered my enthusiasm, partly because the standard of Grand Mayne has improved so much since this point. It has a slightly rustic nose, maybe with just a small dose of brettanomyces, although not enough to completely obscure the brambly red fruit and warm gravel scents. The palate is medium-bodied with more freshness than the 1988 at this stage. Iron-infused red fruit, soy and bay leaf notes segues into a slightly peppery finish that has more length than preceding vintages. Drink over the next 5-7 years. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.

Both the 1989 and 1990 vintages performed up to the quality I expected. The 1989 may be even better than I noted in my early reviews, although I have always rated it as one of the top wines of the vintage, and a notable "sleeper." The 1989 can be drunk now, but it will be even better after another 1-3 years of cellaring. It exhibits an opaque purple color, a sweet, black-raspberry, mineral, and toasty oak-scented nose, dense, medium to full-bodied flavors that possess terrific purity and harmony, and a spicy, long, sweet, tannic finish. This beautifully made, extracted wine is an ideal candidate for drinking over the next 12-15 years.

The Nony family has been at the helm of this 17-hectare estate for three generations, since the 1930s, but it’s under Jean-Antoine – in charge since 2015 – that quality here has soared.
