Winery review: As for their other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du
Rhone Reserve (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault) displays loads
of ripe flavors. It is very concentrated for a Cotes du Rhone, and is
actually an amazing wine. Classic garrigue, black cherry liqueur,
avender, licorice and spice box are all present in this fullbodied,
intense, and rich Cotes du Rhone. This is a sensational effort to drink
over the next 4-5 years, although it might last even longer.
My review: This wine started with a cherry, slighty spicy aroma with maybe some sweet apple thrown in. The taste was a slight black cherry that was very spicy on the palate. It also had hints of what I believed be like a black licorice. I enjoyed this wine and would consider buying it in the near future.This wine was tasted on its own with no food.
