The 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Le Miocene checks in as 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, all destemmed, that was raised mostly in tank, with the Syrah and Mourvèdre in oak. It has a beautiful nose of ripe red and black fruits that give way to more licorice, black olive, peppery garrigue, and spices. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's balanced and has ripe, building tannins and a great finish. It's going to evolve gracefully for 10-12+ years.
What We Thought: This elegant, silky-smooth wine is robust, full-bodied, and filled with very ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit along with notes of vanilla, cloves, and baking spice, finishing with supple, well-integrated tannins.
