94 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "A regal, fine, luxurious and opulent style of Châteauneuf. Classically styled, traditional blend that couldn't disappoint a lover of the style. Symmetrical and precise. Stunning value for money. Grown on a mix of soil types, fermented in stainless steel, matured 70% in concrete, 30% in old barriques. Drinking Window: 2022-2033. (Oct 2020)"
93 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "[$62 list] Bright violet. Highly perfumed, spice-accented red and dark berry preserve, pipe tobacco, succulent herb and floral scents show sharp definition and a hint of smokiness. Smooth, broad and well-concentrated, offering sappy cherry, blueberry and blackberry flavors and a hint of candied lavender. The floral and spice notes recur on a long, smooth finish framed by velvety tannins. Drink: 2023-2032. (Oct 2021)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "What can be thought of as the entry level cuvée from this estate, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Miocène reveals a healthy purple/ruby hue as well as beautiful blackberry and black raspberry fruits supported by ample peppery herbs, new leather, herbes de Provence, and assorted garrigue and spicy nuances. It's more forward and soft on the palate, yet it still has the classic structure and savoriness of the vintage and is going to age gracefully. (11/3/21)"
