Mount Mary Quintet 2004

Description

Mount Mary produces premium quality table wines from a single vineyard estate in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Established in 1971, three generations of the Middleton family have dedicated themselves to wines of elegance, longevity and distinction. The Quintet blend is the flagship wine for the Mount Mary Estate. It represents the initial vision of Dr John Middleton when he was discovering the unique site that is Mount Mary. A top-drawer Mount Mary red that would appear to contain significantly more merlot than its mere eleven percent. Its deep, dark and briary aromas of violets, cassis, blackberries, dark plums and plain chocolate reveal undertones of dried herbs and bramble. Beautifully controlled and contained, its silky and elegant palate conceals its ample power and strength beneath an exterior of spotlessly fresh, pure blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit, camera-shy oak and tannin so delicate and fine that its genuine impact could easily be ignored. Evenly ripened, it also reveals classic nuances of dried herbs.
