Quintus 2016 is a red wine from Saint-Émilion on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. This estate, managed by the Domaine Clarence Dillon team, features a plateau of limestone and clay that provides a unique microclimate. The 2016 blend is dominated by Merlot with a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc, benefiting from the ideal ripening conditions of the vintage. The wine underwent fermentation in stainless steel before aging in 100% new French oak barrels. It displays an opaque purple colour and a profile of blackcurrants, violets and crushed stones.

The 2016 Quintus has a very noble bouquet with beautifully defined blackberry and briary fruit, wonderfully integrated oak and a genuine sense of focus and poise. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of freshness and a pure, tensile, focused finish that is very seductive. This is a beautifully crafted Saint-Émilion and one of the best releases of Quintus to date. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin1st August 2020

Dark purplish crimson. Silky and appetising and now it`s getting really good! Fresh and zesty. Polished and very successful in this sixth vintage. Appetising and sophisticated. Croquant. Long. Spicy. (JR)
