The 2019 Château Quintus is brilliant and does everything right in the vintage. Loaded with ripe red and black cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, leafy herbs, baking spices, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a stunningly balanced, full-bodied profile delivering gorgeous tannins, the purity and freshness of the vintage, and a great finish. Coming from the Dillon team, this is Saint-Emilion brilliance that's already approachable yet will cruise for another 20-25 years. Bravo. - Jeb Dunnuck

This is very spicy, with tile and terra cotta to the dark-fruit aromas. Pine and cedar, too. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy finish. Very fine and long. Need three or four years to come together. 55% merlot and 45% cabernet. Drink after 2024. - James Suckling

Quintus gets easier and easier to recommend every year, and this is full of plump, confident and well-balanced fruit, with rich layers of flavour that expand through the palate. Cassis and slate, and the Cabernet Franc plays a large part in adding tension through the mid palate. Harvest 19 September through to 27 September for Merlot, then break until October 7 to 9 for Cabernet Franc. Bottled April 2021. -Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Quite a rich nose. Heady and full with some soft floral aromatics. This is gorgeous, full of life, great freshness and energy but with a deep core of flavour - layered and complex, this gives the mouthwatering juicy acidity you want but also the lovely plush tannins and sensitivity of fruit - power and charm. Tannins are so well integrated supporting the fruit and giving structure with a cooling, liquorice mintiness on the finish. Great impact and presence. Could drink this now and savour the lifted fruit and cooling ending. 55.4% Merlot and 44.6% Cabernet Franc. Drinking Window 2027 - 2044-Georgina Hindle, Decanter

Quite spicy, with intense notes of flowers, mint, tobacco leaf, cherries, plums, cloves, licorice, espresso, and crushed stone on the nose. Soft, silky, and fresh, the wine is long, vibrant, supple, and finishes with plums, cherries, and a touch of chocolate mint with 5 spice. The Grand Vin, which comes from only 26% of the crop was produced from blending 55% Merlot with 45% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2042.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

Composed of 55.4% Merlot and 44.6% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Quintus is deep garnet-purple in color. It strolls confidently out of the glass with notes of plum preserves, baked blackberries, and cedar chest with wafts of lilacs, star anise, and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich, and perfumed in the mouth, it has a lively backbone and velvety tannins, finishing with great harmony. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

93–95. Barrel Sample. This is a luscious wine with great black fruits and silky tannins. A blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, it offers succulent acidity and bright perfumes. The wine is sure to age well.-Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

The 2019 Quintus exhibits aromas of rich, plummy fruit mingled with exotic spices and smoky, toasty new oak. Full-bodied, broad and textural, it's rich and fleshy, with a ripe core of fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins. Cabernet Franc represents nearly 45% of the blend this year. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The 2019 Quintus has developed into an elegant, sensual Saint-Émilion. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol and leather build nicely, lending brooding intensity to this deceptively medium-bodied 2019. The blend of 55.4% Merlot, 44.6% Cabernet Franc is very nicely judged. I can't wait to see how this ages. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Tasted blind. Sweet and rich and very St-Émilion with masses of pleasure. Lots of intensity and first-growth aspirations. Really buzzes with life! Persistent and detailed.-Jancis Robinson
