Mount Mary Lunch..

[Con J]

Most of the Melbourne Auswine Group and a couple of other guests got together to go through some old Mount Mary.

A few duds but overall a great day.

1991 Triolet - Too oxidised for me.
1999 Triolet - Drinking well, lovely.

1998 Chardonnay - Drinking well.
1999 Chardonnay - Too oxidised for me.

1988 Pinot Noir - Similar to the 2000, less fruity more developed.
2000 Pinot Noir - Raspberries, Strawberries, forest floor, balanced. Equal wine of the day for me.

1979 Quintet -
1985 Quintet -

1987 Quintet - Corked.
1988 Quintet - A bit leaner than I remember

1991 Quintet -
1996 Quintet - Equal wine of the day.

The Quintets very similar in style and holding up well, most if not all had a bit of Bret which I think a little bit adds complexity.

Cheers Con.

Awesome day. Thanks so much for providing the wines Con.

Highlights for me:
1999 Triolet
2000 Pinot Noir
1996 Quintet

The tasting again confirmed the greatness of Mount Mary. Great when young, even better when aged.

These are the grandest of events! I miss a weekly themed event my Hong Kong wine group does! I did a Mt Mary event years ago too. Didn’t run as deep as this but.

Well done chaps!

Looks like a ripper day. Well done folks.

Cheers Ed

What a wonderful tasting experience Con. Shame about the faulty/dud ones, but wow what a line up!

I have always preferred the MM Triolet & Chardonnay over their reds for some reason, and the triolet can last for decades (especially now under screwcap!)

What is the last bottle in the line up? A liquor Muscat? - Was it any good ?

Is it a chateau yaldara liqueur muscat. Looks also like the old Kaiser Stuhl Kirsch Cherry Brandy that my parents used to drink in the 70s.
