Note di degustazione
Notes of sweet oak and dark ripe fruit on the nose, slightly floral and gamey. A lovely balance maintained throughout the palate, with layers of ripe rounded tannins. Dark and quite substantial, well-structured by acidity, very appealing. A wine with great potential that offers superb value.

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. (NM)
Tasted blind. Odd nose – slight TCA? Very pinched on the palate. Clearly ripe fruit here but overdone. Unpleasant to drink. (JR)
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.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
