Château de Beaucastel Famille Perrin 2012, Châteauneuf Du Pape, Rhône A.C., France: Beautifully made with superb craftsmanship in this classic French red wine blend from the Rhone Valley! Full-bodied, concentrated and complex with layers of rich black fruit flavour and smoke. Great cellar potential but why wait? There's Old World style here, but also a modern twist and reinvigorated New World type energy. Pair with roast beef. Drink: 2015-2025. 711317 14.50% D 750 mL $89.95 Score: 95/100.

Château Clerc Milon 2011, Pauillac, Bordeaux A.C., France: A big, brooding black Bordeaux wine with complex layers of black fruit, smoke and oak.
