This is really delicious, with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate and caress your mouth. It's medium-bodied with lovely, succulent blackcurrants and dark berries and just a hint of chocolate. Savory. Second wine of Quintus. Drinkable now in many ways, but better in 2027 and beyond.

Floral and nicely scented on the nose, milk chocolate and blackcurrants. Smooth and supple, a nice energy and sense of life to this, with brightness and vibrancy to the sweet strawberry and red cherry fruits also with bite that makes it appealing and moreish. Some tension, it keeps its frame but has a really appealing juice texture and fruitiness. Straight and lean with a heavy dose of spice but appealingly textured with concentrated fruit and underlying strength. Full on and a little bit toasted on the finish.

The 2022 Le Dragon de Quintus, which includes 6% Malbec (from the acquisition of Grand Pontet), has a floral bouquet with blackberry and blueberry fruit. It just needs to "stretch out" a bit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, well balanced, off-dry in style with the 28% new oak neatly integrated. This should age well in bottle.

Heavy spice, juicy black fruits, this is intense and concentrated, with a trace of heat, but plenty of personality. 3.65ph. 28% new oak. Harvest September 7 (their earliest to date) through to September 23. No external consultant. Now with the addition of Château Grand Pontet, great terroir just behind Beauséjour-Becot, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc dating back to 1945.

A blend of 81.6% Merlot, 12.1% Cabernet Franc, and 6.3% Malbec, aging in 29.6% new oak, the 2022 Dragon de Quintus has a deep garnet-purple color. It charges out of the gates with powerful notions of plum pudding, fruitcake, and blueberry pie, plus wafts of Morello cherries, spice cake, and hoisin. The big, concentrated, full-on, full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice accents, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with great length.

Leafy herbs, tobacco, spice, and black cherries are easy to discern on nose, and the palate. Elegance and freshness are the key to the wines character, along with sweet, black cherries, cocoa, and a touch of spice in the silky, refined, finish. The wine blends 73% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 6% Malbec. Drink from 2025-2035.

The 2022 Dragon de Quintus displays a perfumed yet elegant bouquet with aromas of spices, plums, cassis and dark berries, followed by a moderately weighted palate that is supple and juicy, with structured tannins but also a slight impression of alcohol on the finish. This is a blend of 81.6% Merlot, 12.1% Cabernet Franc and 6.3% Malbec.
