I have long adored the 2004s from the Côtes des Blancs

this possesses the most elegant and complete nose of the group with highly complex

loads of blackcurrant and floral-infused fruit

with the 2011 Flaccianello della Pieve appearing a bit softer and plumper around the midsection

Quintus Vintage:2012 I have long adored theThe inaugural vintage of Chteau Quintus, with only ex Tertre Daugay fruit used. Leather, plum and spice aromatics are at the fore. The palate is round but with a fresh, chalky, terroir note, and there is a pebble sucking finish. It was early days but the wine is honest and pleasing. The oak is just about integrated. It's ready for drinking now.
