  Very dark nose, ripe black cherries, ripe pepers, OXO, soy sauce, beef blood... Loads of ripe tannin, loads of black fruit, length of 45 sec.

  Spectacularly good -- in its style. Very rich, dark fruit, smoked meats, good structure (thankfully the tannins have finally integrated), tremendous depth and length. If you like CNdP with red fruits and lighter body, this will not be your jam. But it was really good, the first time I've had a Deus Ex Machina that lived up to its billing.

  The nose is typical but heavily concentrated on the baked fruit side. Notes of plum, black cherry and raspberry jam make you feel like being in the kitchen preparing all sorts of red fruit jams and pies. After some time in the glass some rosemary, baking spice and mushroom notes bring some depth to the nose. Everything melts in mouth but there is still a strong tannic structure. It’s a spicy fruit soup with flavors of stewed strawberry and prune completed with a touch of clove. The palate feels jammy with some grip, and a medium to long finish

  Deep black garnet. Nose floral, black fruits. Taste touch sweet, mouthfilling, long lasting. Yum.
