Château Roque le Mayne 2009 Côtes de Castillon

Château Roque le Mayne 2009 Côtes de Castillon is a wine that comes from the right bank in Bordeaux, and is to the South East of Pomerol.
The wine is a concentrated deep ruby with a narrow rim. the concentrated fruit aromas are rounded and enshrouded with spice. On the palate - dry chalky tannins with a definite grip introduce black cherry, plum with spice and leather, cedar box plays a part in its flavour palate, the length is good with sweet dark fruits all wrapped up with spice and cedar box. Overall the predominant aroma and flavour is from oak, the new oak dominates the wine and the fruit plays second fiddle - maybe this will integrate in time, but at the moment - not the best Côtes de Castillon  we have tasted but at £11.99 from Avery's not a bad price.
