Mount Mary Quintet Cabernet Blend 2016 not on sale the wine is intensely perfumed:46% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 20% cabernet franc, 5% malbec, 3% petit verdot, separately vinified and matured in French oak (35% new) for 18 22 months before blending and bottling. The ultimate Bordeaux blend, both in theory and reality. Almost butterfly wing transparency, yet compelling intensity and length, the flavours spanning cassis to blueberry to plum and blackcurrant, all with a textured backing. 97PTS and Special Value Wine James
