Château Clos Saint-Martin 2009 Subskription

Weitere Verkostungsnotizen

"This doesnt seem to me as powerful, concentrated, or striking as their 2000, 2005, or even for that matter, their 1998. However, this blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon tips the scale at 14% alcohol, which is an all-time record. The wine displays an almost crushed liqueur minerality intermixed with kirsch and black currant in a full-bodied, ethereal style that perhaps misses the pure density, concentration, and near-perfection of the 2005 or 2000. This wine will require patience, as the tannins are very elevated and not quite as well integrated and sweet as in most 2009s. Forget it for 5-10 years. (Tasted four times.)"Quelle: "The Wine Advocate", issue 188

"Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Nobles, schwarzbeeriges, Cabernet-geprägtes Bouquet, Szechuanpfeffer, Korinthen und Pumpernickel. Grosser Gaumenauftritt, verlangende Tannine, die sich zu einer intensiven, aber doch erstaunlich feinen Adstringenz formen, schwarzbeeriges Finale mit Cassis und Lakritze. Setzt den Siegeszug dieses kleinsten St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé fort."Quelle: "WEINWISSER N° 5/2010"

""Green coffee bean, berry and fresh herbs on the nose. Full and chewy, with tobacco and berry character. A little overextracted, but should come around nicely with barrel age.-J.S."
