Tasting-Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières

Name:  Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières
Variety:  Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre
Region:  Corbières
Country:  France
Year:  2010
Price:  $4.95

Vintage Cellar 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:  This wine had very interesting smells.  The wine smelled like a barnyard, mulch, horses, and new asphalt.  The smells reflected the taste.  This wine had an earthy, forestry, and camp fire taste.  I feel like the wine would have tasted a lot better with dark chocolate.  I was not eating any food while at the wine tasting.
