Château Quintus 2025

Fragrant roses and wildflowers on the nose, black cherry and black berries. Crunchy and crisp, this is bright and upfront with a softly cushioned expression - the slightly fleshy tannins give some bounce while the mouthwatering, tart cranberry acidity keeps it focused and persistent. I like this friendly, generous style. Keeps a refreshing aspect all the way. Not trying too hard. Ageing 12 months, 40% new oak. 35% grand vin production.

Black cherries, blackberries, flowers, licorice, plums, and mint leaf complete the aromatic profile. The medium-bodied palate is even better due to its vivid display of sweet, lively, cherries, and plums coupled its purity, elegance, refinement and supple-textured finish that give this wine its unique character. The wine blends 73.2% Merlot, with 26.8% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV. The harvest took place September 10 - September 22. Yields were 29 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2028-2050. 94-96 Pts

Precise and expressive, the bouquet of Quintus reveals notes of fully ripe dark berries and hints of grenadine, enhanced by a touch of licorice and vanilla. The smooth character on the attack suggests an inviting wine. It shows a certain breadth and can rely on the support of compact, velvety tannins. A flavorful wine that can be enjoyed both young and with some age.

Deep, intense, purple-red color. Very aromatic nose, refined, subtle, and complex, with hints of blackberry and vanilla. Extremely precise on the attack, very, very flavorful on the mid-palate, with a fine richness coating the palate; the wine develops into a juicy, intensely fragrant profile, leading to a long finish that preserves all its qualities. This last third of the palate is regal. Incredible! Blend: 73.2% Merlot, 26.8% Cabernet Franc. Alcohol: 14% – pH: 3.46 – IPT: 76.8. Yield: 29.5 hl/ha. The estate carried out no leaf removal and no green harvest to reinforce drought resistance. Harvest from September 8 to 22 for the Merlot, and the end of the Cabernet Franc on September 24.
