This is a big Bordeaux and, wow, is it delicious. A label that says 15 percent ABV often scares me off, but not this one. This is a gorgeous, complex, Merlot-based wine from the Fronsacappellation on the Right Bank not far from Saint-Émilion. It’s marked by deep red fruit, black plum, and blueberry notes with hints of cedar and milk chocolate, all supported by a lively acidity that makes its high ABV almost unnoticeable.
