Chateau Grand-Mayne (1500ml)

ROBERT PARKER Rating 93 REVIEW: Classic aromas of blueberries, cedar, vanilla, black currants, and spring flowers jump from the glass of this dense purple-colored St.-Emilion.  Broad, rich, jammy fruit flavors complete with the full-bodied, highly-extracted style that exhibits moderate tannin as well as excellent overall harmony and purity.  This cuvee tends to be made in a dense, chewy style, and the 2005 may ultimately rival Grand-Mayne’s brilliant 1998. Anticipated maturity: now-2022. A sleeper of the vintage!
