Vraiment un fruit magnifique sur ce Château Martet 2019 qui se place un cran au dessus du 2016 même. On ne sent pas du tout les 15.5 degrés d’alcool, une belle structure avec un joli cœur de bouche ravissant. Avec du gésier de canard et une petite salade de mâche, une vrai merveille à ce prix.

Takes the direction of a good level pomerol for me. High alcohol level 15.5%. A point less for heat. Will integrate with time and move to 93, maybe even more. Good stuff for 36 euros.

Agree with Peraix that this is impressively concentrated, but good value? I tasted this in a wine shop in Brussels where it was on a special offer at €37 a bottle, more than, for example the extremely impressive 2019 Chateau Laroque, St Emilion, and many, many others that offer better value for money.

Aromas of blueberry pie, potting soil, bay leaf, new leather. On the palate the flavor is surprisingly well developed for its youth. The alcohol is not overpowering. Lots of roasted dark berries and plums, and maybe some dark cocoa and sage. Med plus tannins, but very well integrated already. Can drink now but will certainly benefit from more bottle age. A true hidden gem!

Really good and concentrated wine. 100% Merlot. Sweet dark berries.
High alcohol at 15,5% but that does not disturb. Can be enjoyed as is today but can be cellared for a long time.
Seems to be unknown to the more famous wine reviewers. Let it stay so to keep this high quality so low priced. Why do I even reveal it myself...
