Shop Review: As for their other values, the 2010 Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve 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).
Personal Review: On the nose of the Reserve Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone, berry and cherry were very prominent. There was also a hint of oak that I noticed immediately. This wine was very interesting to taste. The moment it touched my tongue, it seemed sweet, however, the mid palate was quite dry. It then finished semi-dry. This wine was extremely complex with spiced and tobacco flavors. While these typically aren't my favorite flavors, I enjoyed drinking this wine because of how unpredictable the process was.
