2019 St. Emilion Grand Cru Château Martinet and obvious minerality all emergeSuckling 93, Notes of ripe plums and black cherries with layers of spice, such as anisette and cloves. Hints of chocolate, bark and wet stones. Medium to full bodied and tight with firm tannins. Round and velvety structure with a juicy fruit sensation. Long finish with a floral touch to it. Merlot and cabernet franc. Very attractive. Better after 2023.
