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, lavender, 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: A very dark cherry aroma with hints of other smells in the nose. I thought the wine tasted spicy and thick, almost tobacco-like. I didn't think this wine had a very strong finish to it, it kind of disappeared off of my palate quicker than expected.
Food? I did not have this wine with food.
