Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 17, 2007 - The 2000 Bordeaux wines were mostly gone from retail shelves by the time I started collecting in 2005 but I did manage to find two of the Grand Mayne's. Decided to try the first one Saturday night. Opened and took a sip prior to pouring into the decanter and right from the start, this was smooth although the nose was a bit muted. So I decanted for about 1 hour and then poured my wife a glass and I got that big smile, when she really likes a wine. The wine hits with an initial bit of oak and vanilla, followed by a carressing amount of dark fruit and finishes with a bit of spice. By the end of the evening, the nose had really blossomed, with fragrant fruit and some lilac. Really drinking well right now with no harsh tannins and everything nicely balanced.
