| Tasting Note | RP 93/100 The 1998 has continued to gain weight, richness, and volume. Even better from bottle than it was from barrel, this may be the most concentrated and powerful Grand Mayne yet produced. A saturated purple color is accompanied by a phenomenal nose of licorice, smoke, graphite, and cassis aromas (reminiscent of dry vintage port). This huge, massive effort is low in acidity, highly extracted, with an unctuous texture, gobs of glycerin, and a multidimensional, chewy, long finish. A dazzling wine, it is undoubtedly a sleeper of the vintage. WS 93/100 California in St.-Emilion. Black color, with spice, coffee and tobacco aromas. Full-bodied and thick, with loads of fruit and velvety tannins. A blockbuster. Best after 2008. NM 92/100 Dark garnet core. This has always had an enthralling bouquet and here it is opulent, minty, tinged with eucalyptus and more Barossan than I recall in the past! Full-bodied, very good weight with the tannic structure to back it up. Rich black toasty fruit, still primal even after a decade with a broody, tobacco tinged finish. One the great Chateau Grand Maynes. |
