DOMAINE DU CLOS ST-JEAN CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE DEUS EX MACHINA, 2008 (12)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

I think the wine of the vintage, the 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus ex Machina again shows how good this estate is, even in difficult vintages. Giving up beautifully ripe black cherry, currant, licorice, ground herbs and hints of pepper, it’s full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, rich, structured and layered on the palate. While it will age gracefully, it too is a superb drink now. 96 WA

Estimate $1,200-$1,400

Realised: $1,440
