Composed of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Franc, the 2012 Quintus is very promising. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of cranberries, mulberries, black cherries, spring flowers and a chalky component. Lush, medium-bodied and accessible, this well-made St.-Emilion is certainly better than what was achieved by the old ownership. It should drink well for 10-12 years.
Formerly known as Tertre Daugay, this 37-acre estate was purchased by the owners of Haut-Brion and La Mission-Haut-Brion, the Dillon family.
Drink: 2013 - 2025
