Coming Soon - 2023 Mount Mary Reflexion Cabernets
Introduced as a more immediately expressive counterpart to the flagship Quintet, the Reflexion Cabernets captures the same estate grown character in a style intended for earlier enjoyment. The 2023 blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot was handled with the same care and attention as its senior sibling, highlighting vibrant fruit and supple texture over sheer structure. It's a wine that distils the essence of Mount Mary's Cabernets being pure, balanced and finely detailed, wrapped into a more open and inviting frame.
Other Reviews....
A kind of ‘baby Quintet’ is the gist. Ready to drink, also the idea. Per se. From a blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc and 5% merlot.
Magnificent perfume, blue fruits, lavender, dried Italianate herbs, new leather, white pepper and choc mint. More of the same to taste with an attractive puddle of plum compote, dried fig and juicy, black cherry in the mix. Sloshes around the palate with visceral pleasure, a looser knit red with lusty flavour and yet a coolness underlying. Big glasses, fire side and getting lost in something else, but the wine as a backdrop. I can see it now. Drink 2025 - 2033.
