Tasting Notes

Sandalwood and cedar, ruby red fruits, intense spice, with lift on the finish. A huge amount of investment and thought going into the Quintus wines right now, working out how to harness their character with the addition of the Grand Pontet vines that arrived a few years ago. One worker per hectare of vines for example, to give you an idea of the level of attention to detail they are getting.

The 2023 Quintus is a rich, racy Grand Vin. Ample and resonant, the 2023 offers up copious dark-toned fruit, cedar, mint, tobacco, incense and French oak. There's tons of power and breadth but also more freshness than the early vintages, even if the oak is a touch present today.

This year, the 2023 Quintus is a well-performing wine, possessing a dense, complex bouquet of smoke, dark wild berries and licorice intertwined with a delicate, oaky frame. Fleshy and ample, medium to full-bodied, it’s perfectly balanced with a delicate, lively core of fruit and a long, ethereal and chalky finish. The influence of the Grand Pontet limestone plateau lends additional straightness and precision to this wine, a blend of 78.3% Merlot and 21.7% Cabernet Franc. - Tasted by Yohan Castaing

Score: 93 - 95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 26 April 2024

The purity of the fruit here is so impressive, with raspberry, lead pencil, cedar and sandalwood. Medium to full body with very fine and intense tannins that run the length of the wine. Mineral. Tensioned. Beautifully integrated and sophisticated at the end. Lightly salty. 78.3% merlot and 21.7% cabernet franc.
