Beautiful aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with licorice and tile, following through to a medium to full body with fine tannins and a delicious, creamy finish. So attractive. Second wine. Best after 2025.
Bramble berries on the nose, quite rich. Lovely texture, bright, bold and charismatic - great charm, this shines bright in the glass and on the palate, lovely and round full of rich flavours with enough body and structure to give good mouthfeel without being too heavy right now. On the right side of elegant with a lovely purity of cherry and strawberry flavours. This has some bite and chew too. Good plushness but still with purity of flavour. Not massively complex but delivers a good punchy wine. Confident. 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc.
The second wine of Château Quintus, the 2019 Le Dragon De Quintus offers a rich, ripe style that carries beautiful black raspberry and chocolate-covered cherry fruits as well as medium to full-bodied richness, supple, sweet tannins, loads of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's a terrific second wine that's going to represent a great value. It should keep for a solid decade or more.
