Château Mayne Vallet

Château Franc Mayne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby/ brick in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing over ripen fruits, cedar, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco and spices.

This is a very tasty Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Complex and interesting.

This 23 year old is much fruitier than I expected it to be. I absolutely loved the nose on this, and kept going back for more.

Good by itself or with food. A great experience to taste these kind of old wines.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$100.

Estate Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Really superb Napa Cab. Purchased from Odette Tasting room. Classic Napa Vallet. Oak, vanilla, cocoa on the nose. Followed by dusty earth and sage. Lots of dark fruit, honeyed fig, chocolate , hazelnut Nutella. This is a well structured wine at 15.6% — 3 years ago

Château Mayne Lalande

Listrac-Médoc Cabernet Franc Blend 1999

Well, what an overachiever this wine is! Mayne Lalande, a little known chateau in Listrac-Médoc, and a bottle which I picked up for a humble price at auction around a year ago. It’s fresh, sappy, delicious and positively refreshing at 12% abv. I wish I had more of this. A joyous rendition of old left-bank Bordeaux. — 7 months ago
