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 full-bodied, 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 thought that this wine had a welch's grape juice aroma. It smelled of many different grapes and appeared as though it would have a jammy palate. However, it did not have a jammy palate. It was very spicy and full-bodied. I don't think I could enjoy this wine again but someone with a more experienced palate may enjoy it.
