LE DRAGON DE QUINTUS
Second wine from Château Quintus
- 2024 Futures
- Saint-Émilion
More infused than extracted, finely oaked, with a beautiful balance between fresh fruit and velvety tannins, this sapid and sensual Dragon is more than a second wine.
Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 " The 2024 Dragon de Quintus opens with very pretty floral aromatics. Medium in body and gracious, the 2024 is quite attractive. Macerated cherry, cinnamon, rose petal and blood orange are very nicely delineated. The Dragon is perhaps on the lighter side, but its balance is impeccable. This is such an attractive wine."
J-M Quarin : 90/100 « Beau rouge sombre, aux reflets pourpres. Nez intense, pur, fruité et subtil. Moelleux à l'attaque, suave et rond en milieu de bouche, le vin s'étire en finale, persistant et subtil, sur une longueur normale. »
Vinous (N. Martin): 88-90/100 " The 2024 Dragon de Quintus presents tightly wound dark berry fruit intermixed with light marine scents on the nose. The palate offers a bit more flesh but still feels rather lean on the mid-palate, needing more weight and rondeur on the finish. However, there is freshness here, and appreciate the peppery aftertaste.
