About the Chateau Quintus 2016
Perched on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, Château Quintus reveals expressive aromas of black cherry, cassis, blackberry, violet, graphite, cedar, and cocoa. Richly concentrated yet beautifully refined, it delivers velvety tannins, vibrant freshness, remarkable precision, and a long, elegant finish with exceptional aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, truffle potatoes, aged Comté, wild mushrooms, or braised short ribs.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Château Quintus is brilliant and does everything right in the vintage. Loaded with ripe red and black cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, leafy herbs, baking spices, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a stunningly balanced, full-bodied profile delivering gorgeous tannins, the purity and freshness of the vintage, and a great finish. Coming from the Dillon team, this is Saint-Emilion brilliance that's already approachable yet will cruise for another 20-25 years. Bravo. Best After 2022
Decanter
This is very spicy, with tile and terra cotta to the dark-fruit aromas. Pine and cedar, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy finish. Very fine and long. Need three or four years to come together. 55% merlot and 45% cabernet.
Wine Enthusiast
The 2019 Quintus exhibits aromas of rich, plummy fruit mingled with exotic spices and smoky, toasty new oak. Full-bodied, broad and textural, it's rich and fleshy, with a ripe core of fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins. Cabernet Franc represents nearly 45% of the blend this year. Best After 2025
Wine Spectator
This has good flesh and focus, with a wave of warmed cherry compote and cassis backed by a red licorice note. Shows a subtle mineral edge that adds a hint of tension to the finish, with a gently mouthwatering echo, too. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now.
