Clos Saint Martin 2006 (1.5L)

92-94 WA

Clos Saint-Martin is a consistently brilliant wine from one of St.-Emilion’s smallest vineyards (adjacent to the cemetery of all places). It always reeks of crushed rocks/powdered chalk, sweet black cherries, cassis, and beautifully integrated wood as well as tannin. Its kirsch liqueur-like component and large-scaled personality are reminiscent of Pomerol’s majestic Lafleur. -Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
