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, lavender, licorice and spice box are all present in this full-bodied, 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: Lots of HEAT! can taste the alcohol piercing through this wine. Nice flavors of cherry and berries with lots of spice in the mid palate and finish. Would be great with a meal. Couple years might help mellow out this wine.
I did not drink this wine with food.
