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: I knew this wine meant business immediately from the nose, which had big black cherry and strong violet scents. It came on strong, and was very full-bodied, with the black cherry being the most notable flavor from the attack to the mid-palate. It was spicy and hot in all the right ways, with a long finish that burned beautifully. I really enjoyed this wine.
I did not try this with food.
