Mission Reserve Gimblett Gravels Merlot 2021, Hawke's Bay

A lovely example with aromas and flavours of Doris plums and black currant, bracken and vanilla, some chocolate then clove. Dry, taut and textured with plenty of tannins, some chewy, medium+ acid line, toasty wood attributes and a youthful vibrant mouthfeel overall. Best drinking from 2024 through 2029. If enjoying before then I recommend high protein fare with green veges. Well made.
