The 2015 Grand Mayne is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with an earthy nose of damp soil and fungi with a core of red and black plums, black berries and dried herbs. The full-bodied mouth is rich and earthy with a firm structure and plenty of freshness, finishing long.
The 2015 Grand Mayne has an exemplary bouquet, one decidedly less extravagant than previous vintages, with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and asphalt aromas gently wafting from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and tensile. I love the shimmering black fruit here laced with pencil lead and spice, while the finish is much more focused and refined than vintages ten years earlier. Superb.
