The wine shows a beautiful deep red colour. The first nose gives powerful aromas. Swirling then reveals the fine complexity of the delicately woody notes of red and black fruits: captivating. The first taste of this Quintus is rich and tight at the same time. The wines stays full of flavour and reveals that the precise tannic powerfulness makes way for an enchanting presence of savours.
James Suckling: 96 Points
The purity of the fruit here is so impressive, with raspberry, lead pencil, cedar and sandalwood. Medium to full body with very fine and intense tannins that run the length of the wine. Mineral. Tensioned. Beautifully integrated and sophisticated at the end. Lightly salty. 78.3% merlot and 21.7% cabernet franc.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2023 Quintus is a rich, racy Grand Vin. Ample and resonant, the 2023 offers up copious dark- toned fruit, cedar, mint, tobacco, incense and French oak. There's tons of power and breadth but also more freshness than the early vintages, even if the oak is a touch present today.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
This year, the 2023 Quintus is a well-performing wine, possessing a dense, complex bouquet of smoke, dark wild berries and licorice intertwined with a delicate, oaky frame. Fleshy and ample, medium to full-bodied, it’s perfectly balanced with a delicate, lively core of fruit and a long, ethereal and chalky finish. The influence of the Grand Pontet limestone plateau lends additional straightness and precision to this wine, a blend of 78.3% Merlot and 21.7% Cabernet Franc.
