Tasting - Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres



Name: Chateau Serres Sainte Lucie Corbieres
Variety: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvdre
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: Deep, purpley-red. The pungent nose on this wine was laden with moldy, rotten, decaying compost. The smooth structure leads to a warm finish.

I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
