Tasting Notes

The crushed rock-like terroir character of this tiny, but fabulous vineyard is unmistakable in the 2004 Clos St.-Martin. Sweet plum, cherry, and wet stone characteristics also emerge from this beauty that tastes like liquid rocks intermixed with red and black fruits. Medium-bodied with excellent definition, an elegant personality, and terrific purity as well as length, the 2004 is more forward than most vintages. (90+ points)

Score: 90

Lots of subtle coffee and blackberry aromas, with hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, yet refined and caressing, with a solid core of sweet, ripe fruit. Delicate. Best after 2010. 500 cases made.

Score: 89

James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2010+ 31 March 2007

Quite muted on the nose. Broody. Soft entry, very ripe supple Merlot. The mid-palate builds nicely with well-integrated tannins. Blackberry and raspberry. Very classy and elegant with a silky texture. Excellent. Tasted April 2005.

Score: 92 - 94
