WEINWISSER: "Delikates Bouquet, frischer Schattenmorellensaft, zartes Veilchenparfüm und Sandelholz. Am saftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, balancierter Rasse und straffem dichtem Körper. Im konzentrierten langen Finale roter Johannisbeernektar, heller Tabak und dunkle Mineralik, kann noch zulegen."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Grand Mayne shoots from the glass with vibrant notes of boysenberries, black raspberries, and wild thyme leading to hints of anise, mossy tree bark, and rose oil. The medium to full-bodied palate has a velvety texture and lively backbone supporting the tight-knit black and red berry flavors, finishing long and perfumed. This is impressive!"

DECANTER: "With aromas of red fruit, quite chipper and friendly, the palate reflects more (pleasing) limestone aspects, even if a tad timid in expressing the red fruit ripeness, along with crushed mint and allspice. I like the juicy mid-palate. The structured tannin leads to a medium finish but just slightly standoffish. The 18 months ageing in 50% new oak should soften the finish."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers cherries, plums, and licorice pop in the nose. Medium-bodied, elegant, juicy, and silky, with sweetness, and lift in the plummy, licorice oriented finish. Drink from 2027-2045."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A very fine-grained red with tannins that caress your palate. Medium body. Reserved fruit character. Shows a nicely crafted expression already."

VINUM: "Mineralisch geprägt, eher scheu, mit roter Frucht und getrockneten Kräutern; saftig am Gaumen, leicht flockiges Tannin, gut strukturiert, charaktervoll und dynamisch, gute Länge, endet würzig."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Red and black fruits, chocolaty herbs, graphite, and a kiss of solid minerality all emerge from the 2023 Château Grand Mayne, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, beautifully balanced 2023 that has plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a juicy, lively profile with tons to love."

FALSTAFF: „Dunkles Rubingranat, tiefer Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Verhalten, zart nach Heidelbeeren, schwarze Kirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, rote Kirschen, präsente Tannine, zart austrocknend im Abgang, mittlere Länge, etwas Nugat im Rückgeschmack."
