Tasting Notes

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. 2023 - 2035

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, April 2023

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

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, June 2021

Composed of 84.7% Merlot and 15.3% Cabernet Franc, while possessing an alcohol of 15.2%, the 2020 le Dragon de Quintus has a deep garnet-purple color and notions of plum preserves, kirsch, black raspberries and cinnamon toast, plus hints of mossy tree bark and incense. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with juicy black and red berries, supported by soft tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and spicy.
