LE DRAGON DE QUINTUS Saint-Emilion 2019 Bottle

Description

THE WINE ADVOCATE (91-93)
"The 2019 le Dragon de Quintus is a blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 19th of September to the 9th of October. The estimated alcohol degree on the label is 15%. Deep garnet-purple colored, it rocks up with open-knit notes of stewed plums, fruitcake and blackberry preserves with touches of garrigue, cloves and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate is simply bursting with spicy black fruit preserves, framed by ripe, rounded tannins and bold freshness, finishing with a lingering peppery kick. This is a very different style from the grand vin—but seriously good in its own right!"

JAMES SUCKLING 93-94 Points
10 Jun, 2020 – "A firm, silky red with blackberry and blueberry character and lots of earth and spice. It’s full-bodied with juicy tannins. Lots of spice at the end."

"Round and relatively gourmand with decent lift and freshness. Limestone terroir subliminally present. Attractive line, length and balance."
