JAMES SUCKLING: "Good depth for this vintage, with lots of brightness. Medium-bodied with a good amount of fine tannins and lots of bright, juicy fruit. Dark cherries and a touch of fine spices. Fresh and friendly, with good texture and length. A classic vintage with lighter weight and very little perception of sweetness. 77.2% merlot and 22.8% cabernet franc."

ANSON: "Tiny touch of reduction on the opening moments of this wine, then slowly uncurls, lovely rose petals, elderflower, raspbery and redcurrant, with a kiss of grilled sandalwood. You can really track the evolution of Quintus at this point, as it takes on more of the character of its location up on the limestone plateau, and this is a good quality wine. 35hl/h yield, 39% new oak. Unlike many Right Bank, this is the final blend. Mariette Veyssière technical director, working alongside Jean-Pierre Masclef."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Opens with cedary overtones before giving way to notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and red plums, plus suggestions of bay leaves and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate delivers chewy-textured, oak-laced flavors with a lively line and spicy finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Representing only 21% of the estate's production, the 2024 Quintus is a blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Exhibiting notes of dark berries and toasty oak, it's medium-bodied, with more density, depth and tannin than its junior siblings, but it has a similarly bracing spine of acidity."
