The 2016 Deus-Ex Machina is a blend composed of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. The nose includes purple and plumeria flowers, earthy elements like porcini mushrooms and forest floor, accompanied by hints of charcuterie and wagyu, and a touch of crushed gravel. A playful exchange unfolds on the palate, where purple, blue, and dark red fruits take turns, followed by the intermingling of baking spices, coffee, and ripe tannins, culminating in a crescendo that extends into a very long finish.

Vinous
Vivid bright-rimmed ruby. Exotic, highly perfumed aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, candied flowers, incense and Indian spices show outstanding definition and mineral lift. Fleshy, alluringly sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated raspberry, cherry cola, lavender pastille and fruitcake flavors that show uncanny delicacy for their power. Smooth, spicy and penetrating on the impressively persistent finish, which is given shape by suave, slow-building, deftly interwoven tannins.Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
