About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red Field BlendYarra Valley, AustraliaConsidered by many as Australia's benchmark Cabernet blend, 'Quintet' is an icon of the Yarra Valley and a wine of exceptional quality. The Bordeaux style blend consists of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The 1999 vintage has produced a very complex and clean nose with good flavours and richness, harnessed by lots of good ripe tannin.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 1999
95 points The Real Review
Medium to full brick-red to tawny colour, showing maturity. The bouquet is likewise very mature, savoury and earthy, with some dry leather and roasting pan traces, a little cigarbox and tobacco too. It's mellow and complex in its maturity. The weight is medium-bodied and the texture supple with balanced acidity and fine-grained tannins. Red fruits rather than dark. A superb mature Bordeaux blend, the remnants of which were still tasting well the next day.
