Chateau Quintus 2015

A refined Saint-Émilion Grand Cru with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum, violet, cedar, graphite, and baking spice. Richly textured yet elegant, it offers polished tannins, vibrant freshness, exceptional precision, and excellent aging potential from one of the appellation's finest estates.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, venison, mushroom dishes, truffle recipes, or aged Comté cheese.

97 Points - James Suckling

Such a beautiful and complex nose of rose petals, dark fruit and sandalwood. Full-bodied, juicy and flavorful. A precise linear edge to this runs through the wine. Very fine tannins. Yet this is so powerful. Love it. Drink in 2022 and forward.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Quintus has a medium to deep garnet-purple hue, opening with aromas of baked cherries, warm red currants and crushed black plums with touches of cigar box, violets and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, it sports very finely-grained, plush tannins and remains seamlessly refreshing and elegant in the mouth with a seductively nuanced flavor profile, culminating with wonderful length and depth.

93 Points - Vinous

The 2015 Quintus is a delightful Saint-Émilion that is drinking well at the moment. It has lovely briar and cedar scents on the nose (just like before) and demonstrates a little more freshness than the Pavie-Macquin alongside. The palate is well balanced with crisp and vivacious red fruit and slightly powdery tannins but clearly this has much more tension, vivacity and grip on the finish. This is worth seeking out.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Rich and concentrated, with a wave of ganache out front, followed by warmed plum, fig and blackberry confiture flavors. Shows hints of loam and chalk through the finish, with good integration. Best from 2020 through 2030.
