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.

My Review: I did not personally enjoy this wine.  The aroma was nice like dark candy with a little extra sugar.  The taste however was just too much spice at the end.  You got a cherry mild sweetness at first but a boom of spice finished that my palate was not pleased with at all.  

Food: I did not have this wine with food.
