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: On the
nose I got a strong scent of alcohol. I wasn’t really able to detect much else
because it was so overpowering. After trying the wine, the spice was what I
immediately detected. I also tasted a slight licorice taste that kind of
reminded me of taking a Jagermeister shot (YUM). This wine was very rich and
bold.
