Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina 2005<br />
Southern Rhone<br />
“The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection<br />
in the glass—an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the<br />
otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary<br />
nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with<br />
some subtle roasted herbs, roast beef, smoke, and licorice, massive<br />
fruit concentration, extraordinary intensity, unreal purity and harmony,<br />
and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this is a<br />
tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the most compelling<br />
Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. The length goes on well<br />
past a minute, and the wine should age effortlessly for 25-30+ years.<br />
The tannins are formidable according to consulting oenologist Philippe<br />
Cambie, but they are nearly obscured by the wine’s remarkable<br />
concentration and intensity. This is a riveting wine.” J. Miller for R.<br />

P. Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de mon Aieul 2007<br />
Southern Rhone<br />
“There are 1,800 cases of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du<br />
Mon Aieul (100% tank-aged Grenache). It represents an awesome<br />
naked/virginal expression of Grenache from three vineyard parcels<br />
planted in sand, clay, and limestone soils. After tasting this wine on five<br />
separate occasions, I can state with certainty, it has the most saturated<br />
color of any Mon Aieul produced to date. Moreover, its perfume of<br />
blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, licorice, roasted meat juices, and<br />
lavender is incredible. Full-bodied power, a multilayered mouthfeel,<br />
tremendous purity, and awesome concentration put this wine in a class<br />
by itself. This sensational Chateauneuf du Pape is still very young, and<br />
3-4 years of cellaring is required. It should be a modern day legend and<br />
last for nearly two decades.” R. Parker, 100 pts. 10/09<br />
