Clos Saint-Jean Deus Ex Machina 2017

WineSaint
Outrageously concentrated with dense cassis, blackberry liqueur and garrigue flooding the palate. Massive structure underneath, yet the tannins feel ripe and integrated. Smoky graphite and dark chocolate emerge on the exceptionally long finish. A powerhouse that demands cellaring through 2035.
