Tasted blind. Crimson with a pale rim. Supple and quite subtle on the nose. Very juicy. But not very concentrated. Hot finish. Sleek and fresh but tarter than most 2016s. Ch Quintus? (JR)

Ripe damson-plum fruit and generous richness make this youthful, high-end St.-Emilion surprisingly easy to drink right now. Underneath the sensual exterior is a serious structure and that becomes ever more obvious as it rolls over the palate. Very long finish that has a certain sweetness, but remains so elegant. Drink or hold. Château Quintus vertical tasting. SP.
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.
Tasted blind. Rather dull, but at least it’s not overripe. Some greenness. Sandpaper tannins. I don’t get this wine. (JR)
