Twelve months in French oak (15% new). Still very primary and fully expressive of the warm vintage, with strawberry conserve and raspberry-drop aromas. The intensity of the sweet fruit is phenomenal, with a pleasing tart cherry note and underlying spice providing a counterbalance to the ripeness. Long and intense, with a warming alcohol presence. If drinking young, decanting is recommended to open the fruit and harmonise the elements.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePublished 16 June 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points — Winepilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted June 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Planted in 1946 and later plantings in 1965. This bottling takes fruit from the lower Northern aspect that makes the use of its slow ripening. There is a charm to this wine, with friendly affable ripe red fruits, rhubarb and blood plum. Some strawberry cream too, silky tannins and a pulp like consistency that nestle into the front of your palate. Perhaps a portion of new oak, some warm cocoa tones make themselves known. This cuddles into your soul and makes you feel right at home. Another wine for arresting your heart and falling into love with the sites of Mount Pleasant. Pair with lasagna the oozy gooey kind. Drink now or cellar mid term for 4-6 years.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points — The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted April 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount Pleasant was established in Pokolbin in 1921 by Maurice O'Shea, one of the defining figures of Australian wine.
