Tasting - Reserve Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône


Name: Reserve Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône
Variety: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah 10% Cinsault
Region: Rhone Valley
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $14.95/750mL or $38.95/3L

Winemaker's notes: 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: Smelled like cherries and peppers. The alcohol smell was pretty strong. It tasted spicy and peppery and licorice tasted. Try to pick up anything else but it was pretty hard. I didn't really enjoy this one.

I had this on its own without food.
