Château Franc Mayne Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2015 Bordeaux Red Wine, $34.42-$40.49, 92 points, poured a now familiar purple/red, more red than purple with a transparent meniscus and stained glass sheeting.
Aromas of cinnamon, lavender, cocoa, and toasty red and black fruit were outstanding.
Near full-bodied red wine with good acidity and firm developing tannins delivered light plum, red raspberry, and violet flavors.
Finished long on the trailing palate, easy pepper spices, a hint of mint, and a well-integrated 14% alcohol.
Varietals were 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

Bit young, I would think.
ReplyDeleteVG: This wine is young, but it certainly is not undrinkable now; I have my doubts that I can wait ten years, but I've doubled-up on some of these, so comparisons will be fun.
