1 bottle: Clos Saint Jean "Deus Ex Machina" Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2003 100/100 Robert Parker (Hedonists Gazette) Another perfect example of one of the most profound Châteauneuf du Papes I have ever had, the 2003 Châteauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina from Clos St.-Jean is like bottled essence of Provence, from the peppery incense smells to garrigue, black cherry, cassis, licorice, and earth. It is full-bodied and opulent, without a bit of the raisiny, over-ripe character that one often associates with this vintage. 100/100 Jeb Dunnuck for Robert Parker Even better than the La Combe des Fous and representing the essence of the southern Rhone, with notions of beef blood, ground pepper, melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, the 2003 Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is broad-shouldered and structured on the palate, with a meaty chewiness to its texture, masses of ripe tannin and blockbuster length on the finish. Seamless, decadently rich, yet also weightless, it is a monumental Chateauneuf du Pape that will stand with the greatest wines of the world. It will continue to evolve gracefully, but why wait.
