2018 Clos St. Jean - Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum MAGNUM (1.5L)
96 Points
"The tiny production 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Sanctus Sanctorum comes from a single parcel in the famed La Crau lieu-dit and is brought up in demi-muids. Released only in magnum, it's consistently been one of the most singular, brilliant expressions of Grenache in any vintage it's been produced. The 2018 isn't going to break that trend yet it checks in behind some of the greats such as the 2007, 2010, 2016, and 2017. Revealing a translucent ruby hue as well as a glorious bouquet of kirsch liqueur, ground pepper, cured meats, candle wax, garrigue, and Provencal spice, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness as well as a seamless, Grand Cru Burgundy like mouthfeel that carries sensational richness yet so sense of heaviness or weight. With no hard edges, beautiful tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish, it's going to drink beautifully over the coming 15 years or more."
