Mount Mary
Quintet Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Sadly I suspect that this bottle was slightly corked. Was quite drinkable, but fruit aroma and flavour dumbed by TCA. #fuckyoucork

Extremely European, might even "dare" Bordeaux like style
Probably the most consistent of all the bordolese blend in all of Australia
Absolutely spotless and in a good spot to be cellared for 5 more years
Quite long finish

On the flight from Dubai to Singapore. Mount Mary quintet 2012. Deep ruby core and quite wide light ruby rim, still seems quite young. Comes across as more mature on the nose, more tobacco , leather , red berries , spice and coffee, however there is sweet blackcurrant and cassis, underneath . Elegant and complex, and seems quite 'new world cool climate' so I suppose Yarra Valley would be in that category. Seems more fruit driven on the palate , nicely refreshing acidity , medium bodied only . Length is reasonable though not hugely long . Elegant is a word that comes to mind. Not sure how it will develop , tannins seem very interrogated and soft. Ready now and over the next 5 years ? 91 points
