2015 Quintessa, Rutherford 1×1.5L

Robert Parker 94

“Quintessa’s 2015 Proprietary Red Wine is showing some early signs of development, with hints of toasty oak, leather and dried leaves framing a core of ripe cherries. It’s medium to full-bodied and nicely supple at this stage, showing gentle, softly dusty tannins and a long, smooth finish. At this point, there’s no need to delay gratification any further.” [94, 01/31/2024]

Anticipated maturity: 2023-2035
