Shop 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: This wine comes in a box! I found that to be extremely exciting. The wine had a berry taste on the nose, but it came off as extremely dry. Despite the nose, the wine is actually very sweet and not dry at all. There was even hints of oaking in the wine.
With Food? No
