Mount Mary Quintet 2019
One of Australia's most iconic wines and one of only 5 cabernets included in Langton's 'Exceptional' top tier. Founded in 1971 by John Middleton and located in the Yarra Valley, Mount Mary has consistently received praise. Quintet is based on the five classic Bordeaux varieties; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
"Mount Mary is one of the great wineries of Australia, and has been for decades, but I’m pretty certain in the view that it is in the form of its life. The Mount Mary wines have never looked better." Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
Awarded Winery of the Year in 2018 by James Halliday at which time he noted "…its star shines brighter than that of any of the 174 wineries in the Yarra Valley."
The 2019 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon 44%, merlot 30%, cabernet franc 16%, malbec 5%, petit verdot 5%.
"This is a great Quintet, one of the best in fact. Here’s a wine that combines such elegance, power and polish to a level seen in the best wines of Bordeaux in the best vintages. Aromas of blueberries, cassis and mulberries are framed in cedar and fresh, leafy cabernet tones, as well as violets and forest wood. Some subtle oak spice here, too. The palate is so seamlessly layered with ultra-fine tannins that carry pristine blueberry, redcurrant and blackcurrant flavors. Concentrated, with pitch-perfect balance. Acidity imbues the finish with freshness and vitality. So elegant and unwavering. A Yarra Valley First Growth! Delicious now, but try from 2027 and for a decade after that."

"Heady aromatics, the fruit pristine and lightly spiced. But it's the medium-bodied palate that really woos: focused and seamless with superfine yet detailed tannins. Of course it has the beauty and charm of youth but age will send this to another level. Did I mention elegance? Tick. Drink by 2039."
98 points, Jane Faulkner, James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion.
"It’s no news flash, but for me, this is one of the greatest wines produced in Australia, if not the world. My word. Head-spinning perfume, pencils and spice, rich deep dark berry flavour, aniseed and almond paste. Medium-bodied, density delivered with effortless elegance, delicious nutty chew to its carpet of ripe tannin, a mix of red and black fruits, and an exotic character to a finish of outstanding length. Incredible". 97 Points, Gary Walsh
