What's in the glass: The 2024 Quintet is perfumed and so balanced, leading with notes of cassis, sweet tobacco, dusted licorice, raspberry seed, rose petals and sandalwood. The palate is ultra-fine, and the tannins are everywhere and not at all obvious. It’s a fine art to get so much structure and shape into the wine without it being obvious. The wine is brambly, leafy and a little minty; and having said everything else about the ripeness of fruit and tannin, it is this character more than anything that lends itself to the very long haul ahead. This is a beautiful wine, as usual. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. 97 POINTS - ERIN LARKIN, WINE ADVOCATE.
