Château Quintus
Le Dragon de Quintus Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
This is the second wine of the Haut-Brion's newly acquired Château Quintus...color me impressed. Great bouquet of Cedar and blackberry. Medium bodied and well integrated tannins. Plums, leather, strawberries, cranberries on the palate. Best enjoyed in the next 5 years. Saw that it was around $35/bottle...that's a STEAL.

1 person found it helpfulMar 4th, 2017Satisfying, solid St-Émilion that is delightfully juicy without being overblown. Dark cherries, kirsch, baking spices are bolstered by firm, ripe tannins and refreshing acidity. A wonderful wine for any occasion to drink in the nearer term (next few years). Dragon de Quintus elevated a dinner at home, which included cheese!
