2017 Chateauneuf du Pape, Deus ex-Machina, Domaine Clos St Jean, (Bottle)
With its more discreet oak and layers of complexity, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is my favorite release here this year. Layers of dried spices accent raspberries and cherries in this full-bodied, rich and velvety wine. It's more complex and complete than either the Combe des Fous or the Sancto Santorum, longer on the finish and supremely elegant.

So deeply colored, rich and intense it almost defies description, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina looks to have incredible potential. It’s so packed with purple fruit that it completely hides its alcohol, then finishes with lively zest and brine notes, hints of dark chocolate and tremendous length. I can’t wait to try this next year!
