La Rodeline Cornalin Combe d'Enfer

Sweet fruit wooden nose almost like a Bordeaux right bank. Sweet entry with an odd plastic note mid-mouth; not abhorrent, just noted. Finish is on balance almost overly acidic. Tannins light. a decent food wine. Not stuffed to age well, but extended to 2025 with the acidity principally.

Quite a strong nose of sweet rich dark fruit and lots of vanilla wood. Quite St. Emilion really. Entry is not St. Emilion. Very tasty, with a very strong mid-mouth and a strong and distinctive tart fruit. Tannins are well back, not very long. This is quite a modern style, very interesting and nice fruit flavour profile.

A particularly nice roasted fruit nose. Wood is toasty vanilla with quite a dark fruit background. A very flavourful and savoury entry that turns into a quite a rich sweetness. This is very packed with juicyness yet does not feel overly heavy. Not a tremendous length and a touch of spice and white pepper.
