91 Robert Parker
An elegant, pretty Quinault, the 2004 displays a dense ruby/purple color along with a big, rich nose of licorice, black raspberries, cherries, and spice. This blend of 71% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec possesses an excellent texture, beautiful elegance and complexity, and no hard edges. A seamlessly made, supple-textured, evolved, forward effort, it can be drunk now or cellared for 12-15 years. This is a very strong effort in a challenging vintage.

Dunkles, tiefes Rubin-Lila. Maulbeerenbouquet, ausladend, mit intensiver, leicht floraler Fruchtnote. Im Gaumen saftig, innen leicht kernig, Lakritze im Extrakt zeigend, die Gerbstoffe wirken im Moment unfertig und geben dem Wein eine sperrige Adstringenz. Kann, aufgrund des Potenzials noch zulegen. trinken (2010 - 2019)

Aromas of blackberry and black olive. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Solid but slightly one-dimensional now. Best after 2010. 5,750 cases made. ?JS

Château Quinault
One of the great Saint-Émilion estates, Château Quinault l’Eclos sits in the center of Libourne along the border with Pomerol. Home to 19 hectares of vineyards, the vines average around 60-70-years-old and are planted to 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Known as one of Bordeaux’s supercuvées or vins de garage, Quinault l’Enclos has been owned by Cheval Blanc’s Bernard Arnault of LVMH since 2008. Today, Pierre Lurton and his team from Cheval Blanc manage Château Quinault l’Enclos. The resulting wines are ripe, fresh and well-rounded, making them one of the appellation’s best wines to drink young.
