Mount Mary Quintet 2016

Plush & deep from the get-go, with violets, dark cherry, plum melding seamlessly across a palate that silky, tight & loaded. Beautifully weighted in the mouth, the wine is cloaked in firm yet fine tannins, with the structure marking it an instant classic Quintet. Tasted alongside six back vintages including an ethereal 1988 (the first Quintet), the 2016 affirms its position as one of Australia’s very best wines. Highly recommended. - Todd Slater, FWC.

It’s only 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 26% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot. A different wine to the (relatively) throaty 2015, but not a lesser one. Such perfume. Such finesse. It’s a flat out joy to smell, and to taste. Violets, cedar, red and black fruits, tobacco, pencils, marzipan and aniseed. […] Winefront Rated : 97 Points
