The grand vin, the 2013 Quintus, which is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, has a dark ruby/plum color and an attractive nose of licorice, Christmas fruitcake, tobacco leaf and red and black currants. It is well-made, somewhat compact and narrowly constructed, but pleasant and best drunk during its first 7-8 years.
This property was purchased by the owners of Haut-Brion and La Mission-Haut-Brion, along with their acquisition of nearby L’Arrosee. The estate used to be called Tertre Daugay, but now has been renamed Quintus.
