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 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 had a fruit forward aroma with floral overtones and lighter cherry undertones. However, it had a much different flavor. There were strong flavors of black pepper and spice on the palate. It was a good wine, although surprising at the differences in aroma and flavor.
I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
