CellarRed wineAustralia98 points - Halliday Wine CompanionCork closureNew release

Mount Mary is regarded as one of Australia's most iconic producers with the Quintet being an Australian ‘Bordeaux Blend’ often considered to be up there with Bordeaux 1st Growths for quality, yet at a fraction of the price. Unsurprisingly, the Quintet is a 1st Classified (First Growth) in Langton’s classification. The 2022 Quintet is a new release, and based on previous Quintet performance and reviews it’s well positioned to be in demand.

Critic reviews

What the experts say about this wine👇

Cabernet and Blends of the Year. A blend of 47/28/15/6/4% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/ cabernet franc/petit verdot/malbec. Fermented with whole berries and at different temperatures, depending on the variety. All varieties are matured in both barriques and 1600L foudres for 12 months then racked into barriques (35% new) for another 10 months before blending and bottling. A deep, bright, crimson ruby. Brooding with classic dark cherries, blackcurrant, iodine, violets and fresh lead pencil shavings. Saturates the palate without being remotely heavy. The tannins are muscular, very persistent and in perfect harmony with the fruit. A magnificent wine that will provide enormous enjoyment over the next two decades.

Cherry and chocolate, blueberries, violets, tobacco, pencils, baking spice, a light mint perfume. It’s medium-bodied, so fine and ‘minerally’, with succulent graphite tannin, cool fresh acidity to balance, quite some mouth-perfume, and kind of ferrous too, and the length is superb, finishing bright and steely, redcurrant and cranberry carries in the aftertaste. Superb. Such energy and class. There’s something about (Mount) Mary
