Prepare to be amazed by the 2022 Quintus. This deep purple wine boasts a powerful nose that reveals ripe, yet fresh, red and black fruits. The complexity is undeniable, thanks to delicate hints of freshness. The first sip is a revelation – wide, majestic, yet surprisingly gentle. The structure is evident, yet the wine flows smoothly across the palate, devoid of any heaviness. This is a wine of three dimensions – width, depth, and length. The high percentage of Cabernet Franc (over 40%) plays a starring role, bringing both freshness and structure. This, combined with the generous fruit from the Merlot, creates a result that may be the best Quintus has ever produced.

Critic Reviews

James Suckling
96-97 Points
96-97 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "Black berry and lead pencil on the nose with fresh flowers. Some rose stems, too. Full-bodied with racy and fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Complex and intense in flavor, it remains full of energy and verve. 58.5% merlot and 41.5% cabernet franc." 04/23
Wine Advocate
92-94+ Points
92-94+ Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Quintus, one of the best wines produced at this estate, reveals aromas of dark berries, licorice, ripe plum, spices, and hints of graphite. It’s fleshy and concentrated, precise and crystalline, with a tensile, chalky profile, velvety tannins and a vibrant, penetratingly saline finish. The integration of fruit from Grand Pontet recently acquired by the Dillon group means that the blend now contains fully 41.5% Cabernet Franc, bringing more mid-palate structure and amplifying Quintus's limestone-influenced character." 4/23
