2011 wasn't a brilliant vintage on Bordeaux's Right Bank, but this new, exclusive listing – available from 18 November - is worth seeking out. It's 100% Merlot, produced by organic farming methods. After years maturing in bottle, it's completely à point - drinking deliciously now, seductive, ripe and fresh, with fragrant bright fruit still and the added complexity that comes with evolution.
