VertdeVin
The nose is fruity and harmonious. It reveals notes of cassis, red fruit and slight notes of blackberry associated with fine spicy notes and a touch of Zan. The palate is fruity, gourmand, mineral, racy, quite elegant, relatively fat and offers a good structure and a good matter. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, cassis and slight notes of red fruit (strawberry, raspberry) associated with slight notes of violets, sweet spices as well as fine notes of oak. Tannins are fine and well built. Good length and persistence with fine notes of cocoa, blackberry cream as well as a slight hint of toasted oak / vanilla on the aftertaste.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Composed of 76% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 le Dragon de Quintus reveals a medium to deep garnet color with notes of crushed black currants, black cherries and mulberries plus touches of garrigue, dried herbs and rose hips. Medium to full-bodied with loads of juicy black fruit and earthy layers supported by ripe, grainy tannins and a lively backbone, it finishes with great persistence.
James Suckling
Ripe-fruit aromas with strawberries and tea. Aromatic. Full body and round and silky yet chewy tannins. Juicy and flavorful on the finish. Needs two or three years to soften. Pretty second wine of Quintus. Drink in 2020 and onwards.
Jeb Dunnuck
The second wine of the estate, the 2015 Le Dragon de Quintus is more classic in style as well as balanced. Offering notes of cassis, blackberries, plums, damp earth and lead pencil, it’s medium-bodied, balanced and nicely concentrated, with beautiful purity and freshness. There’s no harm drinking this today, but it will keep for a decade.
