Squawking Magpie The Chatterer Merlot Cabernets 2019, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay

Intense aromas of dark berries, chocolate, barrel spices, dark plum, blackberry, cassis, clove and violets. Youthful, fresh, ripe, spicy and complex. On the palate - youthful, tense and ripe and with intensity - ripe red berry fruits, plum and baked goods, chocolate and sweet tobacco, violets and toasty barrel baking spices. Firm, ripe tannins and plenty of acidity provide a strong foundation for the core of fruit. A lovely example ready to drink if decanted with best drinking from 2023 through 2033+.
