Chateau Quintus 2013 (1x75cl)

Saint-Émilion is right bank Bordeaux, which usually means Merlot leads the blend and the wine feels rounder and less firm than a left bank Cabernet. Easier for guests who don't like grippy tannins.

Over ten years in bottle means it's ready. Half an hour open is enough, and it goes well with roast pork, duck, or a mixed Cantonese roast plate.

Tasting notes

Merlot-led Saint-Émilion at this age typically shows plum and dark cherry with earthy, tobacco-like notes and soft, settled tannins.
