Wine Expert Note:

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This wine is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, resulting in a truly remarkable expression of the terroir. On the nose, Deus Ex Machina offers a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with notes of dried herbs, lavender, and hints of garrigue. The aromas are intense and inviting, promising a sensory journey. The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors are rich and concentrated, with layers of black cherry, blackcurrant, and licorice. There is a beautiful balance between the fruit and the savory elements, creating a harmonious and elegant profile. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and depth without overpowering the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and subtle spice. Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It will continue to evolve and develop additional complexity over the years, rewarding those who have the patience to cellar it.
