Château Quintus  2016 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fresh and relatively fine. It reveals slight notes of fresh blackberry and fresh cassis associated with slight hints of flowers, clay as well as a hint of licorice and spices. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a beautiful fat, a beautiful juiciness, a good definition, a beautiful gourmandise as well as a beautiful freshness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy strawberry and raspberry associated with hints of cassis as well as a discreet hint of blueberry, clay and a discreet toasted hint. Tannins are fine and well-built. There is a slight hint of saline minerality on the finish and a discreet hint of grilled bread on the aftertaste. Good length.
