2021 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Le Miocene - 94 PTS - WS
"Rich and concentrated, but racy too, with blackberry and dark plum fruit revealing crushed graphite and a kick of menthol, which adds freshness. Long and svelte, with refined tannins that drive the simmering, smoky close, this complex red shows a lot of stuffing. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032. - Kristen Bieler" - Wine Spectator (October 2023), 94 pts
