This wine is taking its natural place within the Domaine Clarence Dillon family, as an equal alongside the red and white wines of Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion, thereby becoming the 5th child in this illustrious family.
"This wine has a tightly-knit tannic texture and a beautiful, long, aromatic aftertaste. It is fruity, spicy and oaky (the oakiness is normal at this early stage). 2012 Quintus starts out quite smooth on the palate, going on to show ripe fruit and a freshness that might be referred to as mineral which is very typical of the terroir. While 2011 Quintus can be considered a tremendously charming vintage, this 2012 is a more serious wine. Made from a very small crop, it has the potential to become a great Saint-Emilion."
