liquorice and dark chocolate

it still is pretty intense

cool and airy aromas of both red and dark currant

Because of very low yields and a warm and dry season

but all the elements are nicely balanced

Clos St Jean, Chateauneuf Du Pape Deus-Ex Machina Size:12x750ml liquorice and dark chocolateThe 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus ex Machina is a stunner in the vintage. Like the Combe des Fous, it has incredible elegance, as well as the forward, sexy nature of the vintage. Kirsch liqueur, currants, toast, sandalwood, and graphite are just some of the nuances here. The wine hits the palate with full bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel and beautifully polished tannin on the finish. Give it another year or two and drink it through 2026.
