The Wine Cellar Insider: 97 Points
Sexy, silky, velvety textured ripe, sweet fruits coat your palate. The balance between the weight, depth, layers of voluptuously textured fruits is dead on. Rich, opulent and sensuous, this decadent offering from the plateau of Saint Emilion is going to offer pleasure for at least two decades and probably longer.

The 2018 Clos Saint-Martin is racy, supple and so expressive. Crushed flowers, mint, blood orange and raspberry all build with a bit of time in the glass, framed by ripe, silky tannins that make the 2018 a pure joy to taste today. The 2018 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring, but also has the depth and verve to drink well for a number of years. It's a terrific effort from proprietor Sophie Fourcade.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96+ Points
Showing even better from bottle than barrel, the 2018 Clos Saint-Martin is a brilliant Saint-Emilion that's up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Rocking levels of blackcurrant and ripe cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, toasted spices, camphor, and dried herbs emerge from the glass, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a rounded, elegant texture, velvety tannins, and a great, great finish. This ripe, expansive 2018 is going to round into form with 3-5 years of bottle age (it's beautiful even today) and evolve for 20-25 years or so.
