Double magnum of Château Quintus 2016

A beautiful shade of garnet-red with a taste to match, this double magnum of Château Quintus 2016 is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The epitome of wine-making excellence, it’s a product of the Domaine Clarence Dillon estate, a family-owned and managed Bordeaux merchant who have, over the years, perfected their art and become one of the key players in the world’s wine marketplace.

Despite some challenging climactic conditions, they’ve been able to produce this luxurious vintage that should be reserved for a very special occasion indeed. Harvested in early October, and bottled in May 2018, this is a rare and exceptional estate wine produced by one of Bordeaux’s most significant wine merchants. It should be treated with reverence and respect.

The colour is not quite deep garnet-red, while fresh fruity aromas predominate on the nose. The taste is smooth, silky and remarkably well-structured, fruity flavours accompanied by discreet, elegant oak. 2016’s Quintus displays a depth never before achieved by this estate, making this highly prized bottle of one of the world’s finest wines a luxury to be reserved for a very special occasion indeed. 15%.
