2010 Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières Tasting

Region: 
Corbières
Country: France
Year: 2010

Vintage Cellar's 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:
Huge junkyard and barnyard smells on the nose, wow! The body was earthy, musty, vegetable-y and had some spice hints. Overall, it had soft tannins and a pronounced nose with a dry finish. Definitely a wine that suits old world lovers better.

Tasted without food.
