Why it belongs here

A confirmed reference bottle: ripe, round and fruit-forward, with the generous texture that defines the red wines I come back to.

What it says about my taste

Merlot-led Bordeaux can be a strong match when it is concentrated and immediately approachable rather than lean or severe.
