Blueberry and black cherry with some floral and crushed-stone character. Full-bodied and chewy with lots of chalk, stone and dusty character to the blue fruit. Solid. Second wine. Needs three to four years to open. Try after 2025.

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.

The 2018 le Dragon de Quintus is composed of 75.2% Merlot and 24.8% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it delivers expressive scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote and kirsch, plus suggestions of spice cake, fallen leaves and unsmoked cigars. The palate is full-bodied with bags of black fruit preserves and an earthy undercurrent, framed by soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a spicy kick.

The 2018 Le Dragon de Quintus is a bold, juicy Saint-Émilion to drink now and over the next handful of years. Dark cherry, plum, tobacco, dried herbs and mint all open nicely. A healthy dollop (25%) of Cabernet Franc helps retain freshness, but the natural ripeness of the year is impossible to escape.

Sweet black cherry fruit. Fleshy and powerful, with plenty of juice. The oak is impactful but measured, and this is an enjoyable Dragon de Quintus. Needs a few more years in bottle to fully integrate.

The 2018 Le Dragon De Quintus is the second wine of Château Quintus and it's a mix of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. (I wasn't given the exact blend.) Deep ruby/purple-hued, with ample black cherry and mulberry fruit intermixed with notes of damp earth, chocolate, and tobacco, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, supple texture, ripe tannins, and plenty of length on the finish. It's already drinking beautifully and should evolve nicely for a decade.

Wine Spectator

A bright, pure style, with damson plum and cassis notes pierced by a racy chalky streak, ending with light floral nuances on the finish. Not big in scale, but very precise. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2026.
