Flabby and cloyingly fruity, I get why people like it, but not exactly my thing.

This is delicious. Merlot as a daily drinker, nice fruit and structure. Comes off a bit simple by itself, but shines with food. Great QPR.

Perfectly reasonable acidic merlot. Hints of citrus and slightly burned cork.
