The 2019 Dragon de Quintus has turned out nicely, delivering a generous bouquet of rich, plumy fruit and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s seamless and polished, with its sweet core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with an expansive finish.

- Jeff Leve: The 2019 Dragon de Quintus has turned out nicely, delivering a generous bouquet of rich, plumy fruit and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it’s seamless and polished, with its sweet core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with an expansive finish.
- vinous: The 2019 Le Dragon de Quintus is lively and boisterous on the nose with plenty of brambly red fruit, briary and light rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and red plummy fruit.
