2011 Mount Mary Quintet

Overview:

It is a blend of the five Bordeaux varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot - sourced from the Yarra's most revered vineyard. Mount Mary Quintet is one of 'Langton's Heritage Five' which celebrates Australia's most exceptional and ground-breaking wines.

94 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
The hue is bright, although not deep - indeed crystal clear; the scented, perfumed red berry bouquet leads into a juicy palate with no green notes, just a touch of mint; it is long and evenly balanced, and will provide much pleasure over the next five or so years, thereafter is in the lap of the gods.

91 Points - Jeremy Oliver, Oliver's Wines
Willowy and elegant, with the structure, length and balance and mature with grace. Dusty and faintly herbal aromas of small black and red berries, mulberries and violets backed by restrained oak and musky forest floor undertones, reveal a hint of capsicum. Initially plump and juicy, it’s medium to full-bodied, with restrained but lively black and red berry and plum flavours supported by reserved oak and a supple spine of dusty tannin. It finishes with length and persistence, but with some underlying herbal notes and a suggestion of green-edged acidity.
