Mount Mary Triolet 2024

The Triolet opens with all the hallmark characteristics we have come to love about this blend, but the volume has been turned up a notch or two, it seems. The aromas explode from the glass, showing citrus, passionfruit, guava and nashi pear, intertwined with seashell, oyster shell, brine and tea leaf complexities beneath the more dominant fruit. The palate is trim and taut, yet also expressive and open for such a young Triolet, which generally demands five to seven years of bottle maturation before really hitting its straps. The phenolic, textural component so important to this blend is clearly evident, matched perfectly with the fruit concentration on display. One to drink and enjoy on release, or cellar for twenty years if you can muster the patience. Sam Middleton, Mount Mary Winemaker.
