This is the second wine of the Haut-Brion's newly acquired Château Quintus...color me impressed. Great bouquet of Cedar and blackberry. Medium bodied and well integrated tannins. Plums, leather, strawberries, cranberries on the palate. Best enjoyed in the next 5 years. Saw that it was around $35/bottle...that's a STEAL.

Satisfying, solid St-Émilion that is delightfully juicy without being overblown. Dark cherries, kirsch, baking spices are bolstered by firm, ripe tannins and refreshing acidity. A wonderful wine for any occasion to drink in the nearer term (next few years). Dragon de Quintus elevated a dinner at home, which included cheese!

Aussi bon qu'il'est beau! A little young but I can never resist a new delivery - no will power. After an hour in the decanter it was delightful but will gain in complexity with age .

Medium ruby , quite narrow rim. Slightly toasty , dark plum , dark cherry , some dry spice , touch of cocoa, quite ripe after a while , a liquor quality to the fruit . On the palate quite rich and round , generous , with a mix of summer fruits , plum , cherry , blackcurrant, touch of cocoa . Balanced acidity , but pretty punchy alcohol , better at a slightly cooler temperature, juicy quite sweet tannins. A bit short on the finish and a little one dimensional but juicy and round, quite polished and modern in style. Drink now and over the next 5 years or so, to make the most of the juicy fruit.
