Robert Parker Wine Advocate
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
Beautiful aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with licorice and tile, following through to a medium to full body with fine tannins and a delicious, creamy finish. So attractive. Second wine. Best after 2025.

The nose is elegant, fine, delicate, racy and offers a small racy power (in control). It reveals notes of pulpy blackberry, small pulpy/juicy black fruits, small notes of cornflower, lily associated with touches of juicy/pulpy blueberry, hints of fleshy strawberry as well as small hints of toasted, nutmeg, sweet spices, graphite, a very discreet hint of cuben pepper, ripe almond and an imperceptible hint of tonka bean (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/finely acidulous frame, elegance as well as a beautiful suavity, a beautiful finesse of the grain, silkiness, sapidity, delicacy, a good definition and a bright/juicy fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, juicy blackberry, small notes of bright raspberry associated with small touches of bright blueberry, lily, violet as well as small hints of toasted, caramelization, cardamom, sweet spices, very fie hints of black tea, tonka bean and bourbon vanilla. Good length.

Vänstra stranden | Médoc & Péssac-Léognan
93 poäng
Sommaren var extremt varm och torr, men väl fördelade regn förhindrade mognadsblockering, med en sen skörd efter ett regn i mitten av september som gynnade Cabernet Sauvignon. Viner har rik frukt, men tanniner är problemet; de bästa är raffinerade, andra något strama. Övre Médoc är höjdpunkten, men väldigt heterogen överlag.
Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion
92 poäng
En liknande växtsäsong som den vänstra stranden, med varma och torra förhållanden och värmeböljor i juni och juli som gynnar svalare terroirer med god vattenretention – Pomerol med sina lerjordar och St.-Emilion med sin kalksten, båda ger fantastiska viner. Mycket inkonsekvent utanför topp-appellationerna.
