Tasting notes:

The colour is a quite deep garnet-red. The first impression on the nose is of ripeness, but not to excess. Fresh fruity aromas predominate. The attack is smooth, silky, and caressing on the palate. The wine then spreads out without a trace of hardness.The middle palate is full-bodied and tight-knit, going into a long aftertaste.The fruity flavours are accompanied by discreet, elegant oak. After the flamboyant 2015
Quintus, the 2016 is fresh, fruity, remarkably well-focused and well-structured.
It also displays a depth never before achieved by this estate.

The 2016 Quintus is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and features a quiet intensity of chocolate-covered cherries, warm mulberries and plum preserves scents with underlying hints of dried lavender, star anise and potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with perfumed black fruit layers, framed by seductively plush tannins and great freshness and finishing with fantastic length.
