Tasting -- Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres



Name: Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres
Variety: Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre
Region: Corbieres
Country: France
Year: 2010
Price: $4.95

Winery Review: 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: Definitely aromas of something roasted. Like roasted nuts. This wine has a really bizarre taste. It is really strong and potent. It cleared my sinuses. Initial spice on it but definitely doesn't taste like it smells. Not many tannins which I thought it would have.

I did not eat while tasting this wine.
