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. - Vintage Cellar 4/25/2013
My Review: What an interesting wine on the nose; spicy and full of warm, dark fruits. This bold, red wine contains a slightly floral taste for the tongue. To me it tasted a little too bitter and spicy; I got the feeling it needed more time to mature. Though it was not my cup of tea, I can envision enjoying it more later down the road.
Food: I did not try this wine with food.
