Château Quintus Le Dragon de Quintus 2020 750ml

A soft, round red with blackberry, chocolate and hints of spice and cedar. It’s medium-bodied with silky tannins and a juicy finish.

The 2020 Dragon de Quintus exhibits rich aromas of plums, cassis, dark berries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that’s ample and enveloping, finishing with a slightly heady, kirsch-inflected finish that reflects its lofty alcoholic degree. (William Kelley)

The second wine of Château Quintus, the 2020 Le Dragon De Quintus is one impressive looking barrel sample, offering lots of cassis and black cherry fruits as well as medium to full body, ripe, soft tannins, plenty of tobacco, earth, and green flower notes, and outstanding length on the finish. It doesn’t have the richness of the Grand Vin but has lots of class and should drink well for 10–12 years or more.
