Mount Mary 'Quintet' 2022

48% Cabernet sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet franc, 3% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot. Here we go. 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. 97 points, Drink 2026-2047, Gary Walsh, Winefront.
