Château Qvintvs - Le Dragon De Qvintvs Saint Emilion Grand Cru

* 94 James Suckling * Le Dragon De Qvintvs Saint Emilion Grand Cru is of a lovely, vermilion-red colour. The first impression on the nose features delicate aromas of «kirsch» cherries, blended with oaky vanilla. The aromas are revealed while swirling the glass, releasing intense ripe-fruit overtones. On the palate, the wine starts out soft and pleasant, with a good tannic structure, which affirms its character gradually and smoothly, following through on the aftertaste. The soft, velvety tannins are accompanied by fresh, ripe fruit and slightly oaky overtones. This 2014 Saint-Emilion is balanced and already gives much pleasure

* 92 Point Robert Parker * Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Le Dragon de Quintus is a blend of 76 % Merlot, 23 % Cabernet Franc and 1 % Cabernet Sauvignon picked between September 23 and October 9. It has one of the most attractive bouquets that I have tasted since the debut of this deuxième vin: ebullient red cherries mixed with cranberry jus and iodine notes, quite “punchy” compared to other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite structured with graphite-tinged black and red fruit. The 30% new oak is beautifully integrated here with a long, almost Left Bank-like finish. This is a very well-crafted wine that will drink well for a decade. Drink 2019-2032.
