"The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Grand Veneur features aromas of thyme and bay leaf, plus plenty of boisterous black cherry fruit. It's intense and concentrated for a basic Côtes du Rhône, with some dusty tannins that leave their mark on the long finish. - Joe Czerwinski"

"The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Grand Veneur features aromas of thyme and bay leaf, plus plenty of boisterous black cherry fruit. It's intense and concentrated for a basic Côtes du Rhône, with some dusty tannins that leave their mark on the long finish. - Joe Czerwinski"
"The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Reserve Grand Veneur looks to be very good. Tasted as a tank sample, it seems tight and constrained, corseted by acidity into tight-fitting bright cherry flavors. It should relax somewhat over the next few months, allowing the fruit and garrigue notes to properly blossom on the palate. - Joe Czerwinski"
"Luscious red-cherry and dried-strawberry flavors are nuanced by a hint of leather and garrigue in this fruity, Grenache-dominant blend. It's full bodied and approachably plump, anchored by crisp acidity and a fresh, moderately long finish."
