Chateau Clos Saint Martin 2016 Saint Emilion

The 2016 Clos Saint-Martin is absolutely gorgeous. Rich and sumptuous. the 2016 possesses exquisite balance and a sense of poise that is impossible to miss. Silky tannins and layered. ripe fruit give the 2016 tons of raciness. Dark red cherry fruit. blood orange. flowers and a hint of spice are some of the strands that come together in this alluring Saint-Émilion. The 2016 will be virtually impossible to resist in its youth. Today. it is flat-out gorgeous. Tasted two times.

The 2016 Clos St. Martin is made up of 70% Merlot. 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored. it leaps from the glass with bold blackberries. warm plums and red cherries notes plus hints of baking spices. cedar chest. chocolate mint. forest floor and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied and jam-packed with generous black and red fruits. it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness. finishing long and spicy.

Extremely perfumed and pretty with dark berries. such as blackberries and blackcurrants with fresh flowers. Full body. firm and silky tannins and a long. flavorful finish. Fantastic structure and composure to this young and vibrant 2016. Try from 2023.

Neal Martin bewertet den Clos Saint Martin im April 2017:
The 2016 Clos St Martin has a very opulent and powerful bouquet with layers of kirsch. crème de cassis and a tang of seaweed. The palate is sweet and chewy on the entry. There is a lot of new oak here that lends it a smooth sheen. although I find it too domineering towards the finish where I wanted to see more fruit. Hopefully. that will be addressed during the barrel maturation because this could be a great Clos St Martin. Just a little prudence here would not go amiss to contain that powerful Merlot.
