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 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: The color of this wine was a deep red with a full body and great texture. The nose had hints of cherries and spice. The spice was also present in the taste. This wine was utterly dry and bitter. The dryness lingered in your mouth. I would have loved to have it with a meat of some sort to soften the bitterness.
I did not have it with any food.
