but it is among the most pleasurable wine in this tasting

The 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus ex Machina is a stunner in the vintage

This is an elegant and classy if not particularly dense wine

all trimmed in an overt stoniness that continues onto the bigger and more obviously concentrated flavors that carry better depth and length on the beautifully balanced if moderately austere finish

(87-89)/2023+

Once again there is fine density to the delicious and caressing but powerful middle weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the clean and agreeably dry finale

granite and crushed red berries with meaty and peachy accents

(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in ’45 and the rest in ’75

Readers should expect a pretty big Champagne

The oak feels a little more evident (Carlos explained they used a little more new oak for it)

isn’t dense

It was not made after the previous harvest
