Mount Mary Triolet 2022

66% Sauvignon blanc, 24% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. This is a riper expression of Triolet, and has quite some weight and gloss, though it has a core of bright zesty acidity through it to balance. Some brine, grapefruit and lemon zest, pear and guava, a little honey and ginger perfume, along with dried herbs and mint/fennel. It’s creamy and viscous, has some chalkiness and grip to texture, a quinine bite, and grapefruity acidity on a finish of excellent length. It’s complex and engaging, and of course, these wine almost demand time in the cellar to show their best, though perhaps this release may not be one for the ages. 95 Points, drink 2025-2033+, Gary Walsh The Wine Front
