Château Martinet 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity, spicy, finely peppery and offers a certain intensity, a fine creaminess, a racy grain as well as a certain small depth. It reveals notes of boysenberry, wild blackcurrant and small notes of Cubeb pepper associated with touches of nutmeg and spices. An airy side in the expression of spices. The palate is nicely built, fruity, mineral, racy, elegant, precise, linear, a certain straightness, with a small coating and precise side of fat and a tangy frame. It expresses notes of dense black blackberry, graphite/graphene, crushed strawberry and small notes of blueberry associated with touches of juicy black berries/plum associated with touches of vanilla, toast, almond, a hint of hazelnut and fine hints of bourbon vanilla. Good length. Creamy and fresh, silky and gourmand, a hint of cocoa bitterness/cocoa darkness. Fine mellowness on the finish/persistence.
