2014 Chateau de Barbe Cotes de Bourg, Bordeaux

Light, vivid Bordeaux. Medium to deep ruby in glass. The nose is classic with hints of mushroom broth, warm plum jam, cassis, laurel, raw meat, blueberry. Medium bodied, moderate to high acidity, dry, flannel texture. The taste shows hints of plums, cherries, black tea, pomegranate, raspberry, some herbal notes. The aftertaste is gentle but long. A very friendly Bordeaux: light, fruity, easy to drink, diverse, interesting. The high acidity is not optimally balanced, but overall a very nice one.
