Tasted blind, at the end of a long session, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Miocene came across as beautifully perfumed but firm, taut and slightly ungenerous. At the estate, I found the same ravishing aromas of strawberries, raspberries and stone fruit, but more balance and flesh, with a silky finish. The score and drinking window represent a composite of both tastings.
