  Weinwisser
  "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."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "2009 is the perfect vintage for Clos Saint Martin. It exacerbated the wines sensuous character. In contention for one of the most hedonistic wines in Bordeaux, this is opulence at its best. Rich, deep, full and long, the wealth of chocolate coated pit fruits, crushed rocks, purity and sexiness is impossible to miss. This is drinking stellar today. Drink from 2023-2039."

  The Wine Advocate
  "A blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that hit 14% natural alcohol, the wine has an extraordinary purity and vivaciousness in 2009. Dense ruby/purple, with beautiful black currant and black cherry notes as well as hints of raspberry and spring flowers, despite the fact that 100% new French oak is used, it is completely buried beneath a cascade of glorious fruit. The wine is extremely aromatic, with great intensity and beautiful balance. Unlike most vintages, it is somewhat accessible because of the vintage’s low acidity and higher alcohols and should drink well for up to 20 years."
