Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina Clos St Jean 2023 (750ML)

98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Cut from the same cloth, with perhaps a touch more structure, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Deus Ex-Machina is the classic blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre that has the Grenache aged all in concrete and the Mourvèdre in barrel. Offering red and black fruits, graphite, and violets, it's full-bodied, with a pure, layered, graceful mouthfeel, and shows more mid-palate depth, richness, and length than just about every other wine in the vintage. With flawless balance and a gorgeous finish, it's approachable today yet will be even better with 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 15+ years in cold cellars. Drink 2025-2045."11/25
