The Vintage Cellar's 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: On the nose, this wine expressed cherry and maple syrup. On the palate, there was definitely a woody element, like oak. It had strong tannic structure and was very bitter throughout.
This wine was tasted without food.
