Mount Mary - Quintet - 2013

Bright, clear colour; the fruit-filled, fragrant bouquet is followed by a classic Mount Mary palate: medium-bodied, and with a certain transparency akin to an orchestra with different instruments, the very essence thereof; near the flute are red fruits, the violin the black fruits, the bassoon tannins - all very different, but all in harmony, the sum of the parts greater than the whole. Drink to 2035. 96 Points James Halliday, The Wine Companion The 2013 Quintet is so aromatic! It has bright cassis-y fruit on the nose along with raspberry seed and blueberry (the first time I've seen this character). There's a grape-y, bubblegum inflection on the nose, and it weaves into the fruit in the mouth. This is super fresh, supple and exciting, actually. There is lovely clarity of fruit in the mouth. The tannins are chalky through the finish. This is a gorgeous wine. 12.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. 96 Points Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
