Borie Manoux – Beau Rivage 2013 – Bordeaux

Red wine with a light to medium deep ruby-red colour, already developed. Not a huge intensity. Youthful nose, displaying mostly red fruit, sweet red plum, some red berry fruit. There is a slight hint of herbal spiciness. Very gentle if any oak. I still pick up a slight hint of vanilla. So more in the direction of Merlot. Quite light palate. Light towards medium bodied. Still appearing quite young on the palate with a slight tannic grip. There is an herbal spiciness, with some liquorice. Young red fruit, but light texture, high acidity and medium long finish.
