Tasting- Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres

Name: Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres
Variety: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre
Region: Corbieres
Country: France
Year: NV
Price: $4.95

Winery Review: Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla. This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.

My Review: This wine has a dark ruby color that hints at its complexity. On the nose this wine is very unique. It has an aroma that is reminiscent of horse manure and rose petals. Though this wine does not have the most pleasant bouquet, the palate is much nicer. It starts out fruity, has a slight spice on the mid- palate, and finishes dry.
