Shop'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, 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.
This wine was delicious, and pretty complex. It was almost a little smoky and meaty on the nose, with some dark berries coming through. I got a lot of cherries and plum, dark fruit. I also got some herbs in it, like oregano and others. Would be really interesting to try this one with food.
