Probably the best effort this estate has produced to date, this very voluptuously textured, soft, silky, full-bodied wine displays oodles of red and black fruits intermixed with licorice, underbrush, and foresty notes. It is dense, hedonistic, and certainly the best I have ever tasted from Franc Mayne. Moreover, an advantage will be its early drinkability, although it is certainly capable of lasting 15 or more years. (Tasted two times.) 90-93 points - The Wine Advocate, Apr 2010 |
