Tasting- Delaroche Cotes du Rhone (Red) -

Name: Delaroche

Country: France

Shop/wine critic/winery review: "This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvée of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre is made specifically for Fran Kysela. It exhibits very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with very good palate weight and depth and ends with rich fruit notes. Made from organically grown grapes. Incredible value!"

My review: Smells like a very dark vinegar with just the smallest hints of sweetness. The taste isn’t as bad as the smell. The flavors are very deep. The dark fruit description makes sense in theory with the depth of the flavor, but this tastes too bad for me to make the comparison to something that’s delicious. CONCLUSION: Would not drink again


Not tasted with food
