Impressive. Very dark and deep for a red. Intense aromas of crushed blackberries, raspberries and black licorice. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. A big, thick red. A modern, exciting St.-Emilion. Try it.

It will be hard for the opaque ruby/purple-colored 2000 to surpass the spectacular 1998, but it appears Grand Mayne is more and more becoming the Lynch Bages of St.-Emilion. The corpulent, fleshy, hedonistic 2000 is loaded with concentrated black fruits infused with vanilla and espresso notes. Large-scaled and delicious, it is an attention-getter, but not overdone. The oak is beautifully integrated, the acidity low, and the tannin sizeable but ripe. A blockbuster effort, this admirably pure and balanced wine will be at its finest between 2005-2018.

Sattes, dichtes Granat mit violetten Reflexen. In der Nase ein traumhaftes Pflaumen- und Dörrfüchtebouquet, Amarenakirschen, Kaffee, Pralinen, ein Hauch Feigen. Samtener, berauschender Gaumen, völlig eingebundene Textur, Tannine mit Charme und Fett, Schoko-, Malz-, Caramelfinish. Ein mollig-cremiges St-Emilion-Erlebnis, erotisch. Ein würdiger Nachfolger des Grand-Mayne 1990.
