Why choose this wine:

Deus Ex Machina 2020 opens with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, dried flowers, black pepper and Provençal herbs. With aeration, deeper notes of game, smoked meat and spices emerge, adding complexity and intrigue. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully balanced, with ultra-fine tannins that gradually build while remaining seamless and refined. Despite its impressive power, the wine retains outstanding elegance and harmony. The finish is long, sophisticated and persistent. A wine built for long-term cellaring and capable of evolving beautifully for more than two decades.

Note de Dégustation de Jeb Dunnuck

A much more powerful wine based on 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Deus-Ex Machina reminds me slightly of the 2011 with its spicy, perfumed, complex bouquet of red and black fruits, dried flowers, pepper, and Provençal herbs, with more gamey, meaty notes emerging with time in the glass. Full-bodied on the palate, it's balanced, has ultra-fine yet building tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It needs a solid 4-5 years of bottle age and should have 20+ of overall longevity.
