2006 Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Privilège – France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (10/5/2008)
Chocolate, kirsch, red and black cherries en berries on the enjoyable nose. All these elements return on the balanced and very fruity palate, supported by refreshing acidity, a hint of oak and slight alcohol burning at the end. Still young. Very good and considering what others are asking in the same appellation a good qpr. (91 pts.)
