an icon in australia, mount mary has never made a huge splash here in the states. perhaps because such miniscule quantities are available (30 cases of the 2005 quintet). the 2005 quintet presents as a medium-bodied, nicely rounded bordeaux-style blend, marrying cedary, meaty notes with cherry fruit and graced with touches of cinnamon and mushroom. it's nicely balanced and reasonably complex; ready to drink now.
