Tasting- Reserve Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône

•Name:  Reserve Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône

•Variety:  70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault
•Region: Rhône Valley
•Country: France
•Year: 2010
•Price: 14.95/ 750mL
•Critic 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: This wine had a dark color and a smokey smell with hints of tart cherries. It tastes juicy, peppery, and of tart cherries. I liked this wine just because it wasn't overwhelming in any of the flavors it had.
No food was eaten with this tasting.
