Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Wunderschönes Brombeerenbouquet, Sandelholznuancen, Kaffeeschimmer und dunkle Schokonoten. Im Gaumen wie Samt und Seide, gut stützende Säure, aromatisches, langes Finale. Gross und beruhigend zugleich. (18/20). 12: Sehr dunkles Violett mit Granatreflexen. Das Bouquet ist süss und ausladend, zeigt gewisse Luftnoten und einen gewissen Honigschimmer von leicht überreifem Merlot, in der Mitte frisch gekochte, erkaltete Brombeerenkonfitüre. Im Gaumen cremig, füllig, viel Schmelz, die Tannine wirken leicht angeschliffen, im Extrakt feine Gerbstoffbitternoten, gebündeltes, dickes Finale. Ein fetter Grand-Mayne, also etwas atypisch vom Weingut her - aber nicht vom Jahrgang.

The 2010 Grand Mayne has a chiseled bouquet with pure blackberry and raspberry fruit that immediately seduce. The palate is medium-bodied with bold tannins, perhaps just starting to becoming a little more pliant. It is certainly very dense with ample blackberry and boysenberry fruit mixed with brown spices and dark chocolate towards the finish. Though, I generally prefer this vintage over the preceding one, I discern more freshness on the 2009 at the moment. Tasted at the Grand Mayne vertical at the property.
92 Wine Spectator
A dark, lush, enveloping style, with flavors of fig paste, blackberry preserves and hoisin sauce forming an impressive core, while smoldering tobacco and charcoal notes entwine themselves around it. The finish is long and fleshy. Best from 2015 through 2027. 4,500 cases made. — JM

I had this wine four different times, rating it between 88 and 92, so some bottle variation (or was it my palate?) seems at play. The wine is certainly deep and medium to full-bodied, but I don’t think it equals their brilliant effort in 1998 or even some of their more recent vintages. Nevertheless, there is a lot here to like, especially in the bottles that showed so well. Plenty of floral-infused blueberry fruit intermixed with some incense, lead pencil shavings and spice are present in this richly fruity, full, fleshy wine, which should drink well for up to 12-15 years.

Château Grand Mayne
Situated to the north-west of Saint-Émilion, Château Grand Mayne is known for its deeply-colored, rich, aromatic wines. Since the 1930s this historic estate has been owned and managed by the Nony family, today, Marie-Françoise Nony and her two sons, Jean Antoine and Damien are at helm. Situated on the edge of the famed limestone plateau, Grand Mayne is home to 17 hectares of vineyards, planted to Merlot (80%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%). Michel Rolland has been a consultant for this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé property since 1973. The resulting wines are quality, full-bodied reds, and with the increased use of new oak they have developed a classic Mayne character, displaying lush flavors of cassis and liquorice.
