James Suckling
This is showing aromas of wet earth, dried flowers, licorice and salted plums. Chewy on the palate with firm tannins, a medium body, and a spicy finish. Lots to like.

Decanter
Cocoa, smoked blackberries, wild herbs and liquorice-touched dark fruits on the nose. Juicy and mouthwatering, the terroir showing through with a crushed stone and graphite texture and flavour coming in on the mid-palate. This has a lovely refinement to it, the cool fresh touches of eucalyptus, the pencil lead flavour and fine tannins as well as bright strawberry and raspberry fruits which give this a playful edge. Everything seems balanced and well judged with structure and presence in the mouth. Great quality.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Clos St. Martin offers up aromas of cherries, blueberry liqueur, petroleum jelly and toasty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and creamy palate that's framed by plenty of youthfully chewy tannin that asserts itself on the finish. As I wrote en primeur, this is an unabashedly modern-styled wine that will appeal to readers looking for sweet, fruit-forward wines in a vintage that only seldom delivered that.
