Really perfumed with blackcurrants and blueberries. Flowers and cookies. Medium to full body, round and creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Slightly austere from the tannins at the end, but a solid red for the vintage. Better to drink after 2022.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 2017 Quintus is super impressive today. Sweet floral and spice nuances give the 2017 its striking aromatic upper register. Rich and dense on the palate, Quintus is a bold, hedonistically opulent Saint-Émilion in 2017. Soaring Franc overtones play off the Merlot nicely, adding both aromatic presence and a real feeling of saline intensity that comes through, especially on the finish. Today, the 2017 is a touch exuberant - almost too much so. Another few years in bottle should help it settle down. The 2017 is not at all subtle, but it has a lot to offer. Here, too, élevage has done wonders for the wine.

Wine Advocate

Composed of 54.4% Merlot and 45.6% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Quintus is deep garnet-purple in color and charges out of the gate with exuberant scents of blueberry compote, plum preserves and fresh mulberries with touches of sandalwood, powdered cinnamon, potpourri and forest floor plus a waft of black tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with expressive black and blue fruit layers, framed by wonderfully velvety tannins, finishing long and layered.

Wine Spectator

A focused, restrained style, with cassis, damson plum and bitter cherry flavors moving in lockstep, backed by subtle floral and mineral accents on the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2029.

Decanter

Lighter bodied and less concentrated than the vintages either side [2018 and 2016], but this is fine and racy and equally precise. There is more Cabernet Franc than usual, providing lift and expression. The tannins are finely etched and this is an elegant wine that will be accessible earlier [than some more powerful vintages]. The frosts of 2017 had no effect here but the yield was lower than normal, at 30.2hl/ha. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038.

The grand vin from this estate is the 2017 Chateau Quintus, which is 54.4% Merlot and 45.6% Cabernet Franc. It has lots of chocolatey red and black fruit as well as complex tobacco, dried soil, and spicy nuances. It packs more fruit and richness than either the Saint-Emilion or Dragon De Quintus cuvees, has ripe tannins, good concentration, and outstanding length. This is a classic 2017 that's going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and drink beautifully for over a decade.
