Grand Mayne, along with such other illustrious St.-Emilion grand cru estates as l'Angelus, Troplong-Mondot, Canon-La-Gaffeliere, and Beau-Sejour-Becot, is producing a wine that is better than many of its more prestigious and highly elevated siblings, St.-Emilion's premier grand cru classes. In 1995, St.-Emilion will update its classification of estates. It will be interesting to see if the politicians who compose the tasting jury will have the courage to promote the aforementioned estates, at the same time demoting some of the more notorious underachievers. Grand Mayne's 1992 has turned out to be a very good wine for the vintage, with an attractive dark ruby color, a big, spicy, blackcurrant and cherry-scented nose, medium body, excellent ripeness, light tannin, and a lush, heady, succulent finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
