Chateau Quintus 2016

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (94)

The 2016 Quintus is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and features a quiet intensity of chocolate-covered cherries, warm mulberries and plum preserves scents with underlying hints of dried lavender, star anise and potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with perfumed black fruit layers, framed by seductively plush tannins and great freshness and finishing with fantastic length.

Ripe damson-plum fruit and generous richness make this youthful, high-end St.-Emilion surprisingly easy to drink right now. Underneath the sensual exterior is a serious structure and that becomes ever more obvious as it rolls over the palate. Very long finish that has a certain sweetness, but remains so elegant.

Tasted blind. Crimson with a pale rim. Supple and quite subtle on the nose. Very juicy. But not very concentrated. Hot finish. Sleek and fresh but tarter than most 2016s. Ch Quintus?
