2022 Mount Mary Triolet
98 points Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
A 66/24/10% blend of sauvignon blanc/semillon/muscadelle. Crushed and destemmed with 20% whole bunches in the press. Barrel fermented and matured for 11 months in seasoned barriques; 400 dozen. A full, bright green gold. Aromas of Meyer lemon, orchard fruits, a little marjoram and a subtle lanolin note. A little richer on the palate than the equally good '21. Chalky textured, wonderfully balanced and long. A unique and beautiful Australian wine that's approachable now but with the backbone and structure to age superbly too.

65% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Semillon, 10% Muscadelle. One of the nicest BDX blends I’ve had was the 1985 Haut Brion Blanc. I say this because many don’t recognise how good these blends can be, not least with bottle age.
This is a complete wine. There’s guava, lime, lemongrass, a subtle smoky matchstick edge, lemon thyme, passionfruit pith, white flowers, a little cedar and aniseed. Tight, flinty, a burst of flavour, yet so controlled, pink grapefruit, lime rind, thistle, umami Parmesan rind, so much energy and presence, and the finish is so long and cool. There’s not many SSB blends as good as this, from anywhere. Insanely good.
