Clos St Jean, Chateauneuf Du Pape Deus-Ex Machina Size:6x750ml The old vines are veryThe 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.
