Chateau Quintus 2014 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)The 2014 Quintus was quite backward and tight lipped when I tasted it from bottle: broody black cherries and black plum, a touch of clove and fresh mint eventually surfacing. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, a Saint Emilion that caresses and seduces the senses. It is very pure with lovely black cherry, blueberry and white pepper notes, although I would be seeking a little more structure and tension on the finish. It is a wine that goes out to

Cabernet Franc 40%

Fortunately the frequent use of essential oils and plant based tisanes

Another very good colour while the nose seems a touch more sombre at first

with great fruit purity

4% Cabernet Franc and 39

The 2014 Mouton-Rothschild was closed at first when I tasted the wine in bottle with winemaker Philippe Dhalluin

coriander seed and white pepper

2010 and 2015

The first bottle that I tasted with Bernard Magrez and his team felt a little overdone

concentrated and mouth coating finish that manages to remain impeccably well-balanced

A fine elegant medium deep purple

Tasted March 2010
