2018 CHÂTEAU GRAND MAYNE (SUBSKRIPTION)

Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte
»Barrel Sample. Already a stylish wine, this wine is rich in smoky tannins as well as ripe black fruit. Its acidity shows the freshness of ripe Merlot from this vintage, but overall the structure and concentration are well in place.«

Falstaff: 93/100 Punkte
»Dunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Farbkern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zarte Edelholzwürze, schwarze Beerenfrucht, frische Kirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, süße Kirschen, zart nach Nougat, integrierte Tannine, bleibt gut haften, angenehme Extraktsüße im Finale, sicheres Reifepotenzial.«

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91-93+/100 Punkte
»The 2018 Grand Mayne is deep garnet-purple colored and gives up a nose of baked blackberries, prunes and raisin cake with touches of dusty soil, sautéed herbs and fungi. Full and concentrated, with a firm, chewy texture, it delivers a spicy finish.«

Decanter: 91/100 Punkte
»This is good, but the bigger they are the more these wines start to homogenise and lose their individual personalities. The extraction here is confident and the fruit is brambly heading into a dark character. The firm structure is filled out with liquorice, dark chocolate and glossy tannins, but you may beg for a little more light. This is going to take its time to unfurl, that much is certain. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«
