Clos Saint-Jean Deus Ex Machina 2012
Red
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France
8.0
WineSaint
Dense aromas of blackberry, lavender and warm spice leap from the glass. The palate shows remarkable concentration with layers of dark fruit liqueur, cedar and garrigue herbs. Structured yet polished, with ripe tannins that frame rather than dominate. Built for decades.
