Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

Aroma: Creamy blackberry and cassis with a deep blueberry core.

Palate: Creeping tannins making the wine on the verge of “tannic”. Chocolate, smoked meat, pepper and disguised black fruit. Long but rather dull finish.

Personality: Serious but showing its age. Might have been exciting a couple of years ago.

Food Match: Mushroom Wellington but please no death caps!

Cellarbility: Drink before 2026-year end.

Price: $20 CDN.

RKS French Wine Rating: 88/100 (Tried 5July2026). Roger Voss 91 in 2022.

(Château Mayne-Viel Fronsac 2019, AC Fronsac, S.C.E.A Château Mayne-Viel, Galgon, France, 750 Ml. 14.5%).
