This is really delicious, with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate and caress your mouth. It’s medium-bodied with lovely, succulent blackcurrants and dark berries and just a hint of chocolate. Savory. Second wine of Quintus. Drinkable now in many ways, but better in 2027 and beyond.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

90-92 The 2022 Dragon de Quintus displays a perfumed yet elegant bouquet with aromas of spices, plums, cassis and dark berries, followed by a moderately weighted palate that is supple and juicy, with structured tannins but also a slight impression of alcohol on the finish. This is a blend of 81.6% Merlot, 12.1% Cabernet Franc and 6.3% Malbec.

90-92 A blend of 81.6% Merlot, 12.1% Cabernet Franc, and 6.3% Malbec, aging in 29.6% new oak, the 2022 Dragon de Quintus has a deep garnet-purple color. It charges out of the gates with powerful notions of plum pudding, fruitcake, and blueberry pie, plus wafts of Morello cherries, spice cake, and hoisin. The big, concentrated, full-on, full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice accents, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length.

89-91 The 2022 Le Dragon de Quintus, which includes 6% Malbec (from the acquisition of Grand Pontet), has a floral bouquet with blackberry and blueberry fruit. It just needs to "stretch out" a bit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, well balanced, off-dry in style with the 28% new oak neatly integrated. This should age well in bottle.

Floral and nicely scented on the nose, milk chocolate and blackcurrants. Smooth and supple, a nice energy and sense of life to this, with brightness and vibrancy to the sweet strawberry and red cherry fruits also with bite that makes it appealing and moreish. Some tension, it keeps its frame but has a really appealing juice texture and fruitiness. Straight and lean with a heavy dose of spice but appealingly textured with concentrated fruit and underlying strength. Full on and a little bit toasted on the finish.
