2020 Clos St Martin, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Always a powerful wine, the 2020 Clos Saint-Martin is no exception and sports a dense purple/plum color as well as a primordial bouquet of smoky black fruits, tobacco, scorched earth, graphite, and truffle. A powerhouse on the palate as well, this full-bodied, rich, incredibly concentrated Saint-Emilion has building yet perfectly ripe tannins, a gorgeous mid-palate, and just about flawless balance. It might be the finest wine I've tasted from this estate. Hide bottles for 5-7 years and enjoy over the following 30 years or more.

Drink 2028 - 2058
