Clos Saint Martin Saint Emilion 2017 (750ml)
Clos Saint Martin Saint Emilion 2017 (750ml)
Intense and vibrant, the 2017 Clos Saint-Martin opens with rich aromas of steeped plums, blackberries and blackcurrants, framed by accents of alder, tobacco and crushed minerals. The palate is dense yet remarkably fresh, delivering juicy dark fruit wrapped in sleek, polished tannins. A fine tension between ripeness and acidity keeps everything poised, leading to a long, layered finish with hints of bitter chocolate and spice. Composed of Merlot with touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a compact, well-structured wine built for cellaring.

Features an intense beam of steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit, laced with racy, mouthwatering alder, mineral and tobacco accents. Shows density, but stays fresh and sleek in feel overall. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2035. 325 cases made.

A fine and well-poised 2017 with compact, fine and polished tannins to the currants and berries. Chocolate undertones. Bitter chocolate, too. Medium to full body. Structured and juicy at the end. Drink after 2022.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Clos St. Martin has a very ambitious nose of cedar chest, plum preserves and Christmas pudding with touches of pencil shavings and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with dried berries flavors and lashings of new oak, framed by chewy tannins, finishing a little woody. The blend here is8 0% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc
