Chateau Quinault, 2001, Saint Emilion, Bordeaux

Chateau Quinault, 2001, Saint Emilion, Bordeaux

This vibrant red wine has a wonderful and appealing bouquet. Consist of a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc, it mainly taste of dark berries and plum with integrated mineral and smokey oak. Nice and balanced structure. Well integrated tannins but slightly edgy at the moment. Medium-bodied and elegant, and has a long finish. A 92-pointer by Robert Parker, this fragrant wine is good to drink between 2007-2017. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine and kept going back for refills! :-P
