Famille Perrin Les Chapouins Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006

Broad and ripe, with dark coffee and cocoa powder notes out front, backed by steeped plum and macerated black currant fruit. Lingering fig and ganache accents take over on the finish. This has heft but stays defined, with a beguiling smoky hint through the finish. Drink now through 2018. Score - 92. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, June 15, 2014)
