The Mount Mary Quintet 2022 continues the legacy of this Yarra Valley icon, showcasing a refined and structured Bordeaux-style blend composed of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc, malbec, and petit verdot. The 2022 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, with a strong mineral backbone and fine graphite tannins. The nose offers aromas of redcurrant, cranberry, and cassis, complemented by notes of dried herbs, cedar, and a touch of tobacco. A fresh acidity lifts the fruit, enhancing the wine’s elegance and precision.
On the palate, the wine displays excellent balance and purity, with bright red fruits, subtle earthiness, and a hint of ferrous minerality. The tannins are firm yet silky, providing structure for long-term cellaring. The finish is long and steely, with lingering red berry and herbal notes adding complexity. This vintage is expected to age gracefully over the next two decades, gaining further depth and nuance. Best enjoyed with roast meats, aged cheeses, or fine charcuterie, the Mount Mary Quintet 2022 is a testament to the estate’s commitment to crafting timeless and expressive wines.
