[SOLD-OUT] Mount Mary Quintet 2010

Tyzon Selzer 96 Points!
'Quintet is unique among Cabernet blends for its effortless, harmonious, silky, graceful approachability, making for enticing appeal and inherent longevity. Deep black fruit character meets medium-bodied restraint.'
Tyson Stelzer, WBM Dec 2012/Jan 2013

'Mount Mary are proper pleased with this release. Sam Middleton, he who now heads the wine team at Mount Mary, said to me at a trade tasting that 'we're really pleased with the 2010, things feel right with this wine, a great season for us too. Could become one of our best'. This is a blend of 47% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 14% cabernet franc, 5% petit verdot, 4% malbec.

Whoowee, dig this perfume. Really complex aroma spectrum ' immediately engaging too. Cassis, dark fruits, touch of briar herbal lift, flash of mint, chocolatey and stubbed out cigar embers. At once cool and rich. Slender ribbons of fruit, acid and fine bony tannin across the palate. Has that succulent but strict feel, like sucking on a hard lolly as it diminishes. Beautiful, medium-bodied feel too ' the wine finishes long and pure, eddying with the linger of tannin and powdered slate-like minerality. It's in that zone of refreshment and elegance, where a repeat visit to the glass is effortless but there's lots to explore in texture and flavour. Could be a contender for best cabernet (and cabernet blend) for me for the year (2012 releases).'

'(Cabernet sauvignon 47%, Merlot 30%, Cabernet franc 14%, Petit verdot 5%, Malbec 4%) This particular Quintet we believe sits comfortably alongside the famed 1990 and 2000 vintages. The nose shows cassis and blackcurrant interwoven with dark chocolate and cherries. There are some subtle autumn leaf characters contributed by the Cabernet sauvignon which will become more dominant with time in bottle. The palate is held together by ripe tannins and lively acidity. There are flavours of blackberry, cherry, mineral and spice. John would often remark that great Cabernet should finish clean, like water. This wine certainly does just that.'
