CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2016 Grand Mayne gives very little away on the nose, taciturn, broody dark berry fruit mixed with black tea and cedar aromas. More Left Bank in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a savoury, dried-blood-tinged entry. Fine depth, fully mature yet fresh, applying satisfying grip towards the cracked black pepper-tinged finish. Maybe give it another year. Classy. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Grand Mayne features fragrant kirsch, redcurrant jelly and black plums scents with touches of garrigue, mossy bark and Sichuan pepper. Full-bodied, rich and densely laden with vibrant red and black fruits, it has a plush frame and very long, earth-laced finish.

Tasted blind. Very deep blackish garnet. Vigorous, good fresh fruit and real appeal. Good attack. Needs food but it definitely has a future. Interesting. (JR)
