The 2024 Quintus is gracious, elegant and polished. Spice, tobacco, cedar and an exotic touch of blood orange give the 2024 lovely aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality. There is a touch of new oak, but that should not be an issue with élevage. Here, too, the balance is very fine. 04/2025

The 2024 Quintus is streets ahead of the second and third wines on the nose, with pretty black cherry and blueberry fruit, a little Margaux-like in style thanks to the violet scent. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid black fruit mixed with blood orange and crushed stone towards the finish. Touches of cracked black pepper and cumin linger on the aftertaste. Very fine. 04/2025

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

Representing only 21% of the estate's production, the 2024 Quintus is a blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Exhibiting notes of dark berries and toasty oak, it's medium-bodied, with more density, depth and tannin than its junior siblings, but it has a similarly bracing spine of acidity. 04/2025

The 2024 Château Quintus brings solid black cherry and mulberry-like fruit as well as some sappy, green herbs, cumin, and crushed stone. It's medium-bodied and has a balanced profile, but it has some distinctly green aromatics and flavors that will need to be watched. 05/2025

Beau rouge sombre, profond, aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, au fruité pur, mûr. Ensemble subtil et légèrement vanillé. Délicat en entrée de bouche, très savoureux au milieu, avec beaucoup de goût, ce vin monte lentement vers une longue finale séveuse, fruitée, florale, au grain fin. C'est très bon. Assemblage : 77,2 % merlot, 22,8 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 13°1 - pH : 3,41. Rendement : 34 hl/ha. Elevage dans 38 % de bois neuf. 04/2025

Good depth for this vintage, with lots of brightness. Medium-bodied with a good amount of fine tannins and lots of bright, juicy fruit. Dark cherries and a touch of fine spices. Fresh and friendly, with good texture and length. A classic vintage with lighter weight and very little perception of sweetness. 77.2% merlot and 22.8% cabernet franc. 04/2025
