Le Dragon de Quintus Saint-Émilion 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Bordeaux
R725
‘Clarity on the nose, summer red berries with bramble touches, nicely aromatic. Succulent and juicy, this is lightly framed with quite a direct flavour - the slightly sour, slightly bitter notes coming through with high acidity giving the strawberry and red cherry flavours a high tone alongside eucalyptus and cool mint as well as soft cinnamon and clove. Super long finish with a nice balance overall. An easy-drinking wine but still with nuance and complexity in terms of the flavour details. Needs time to round out and become more expansive. Right now quite linear and driven on the palate. 2024-2036’ - Georgina Hindle, Decanter, 90/100
‘Cask sample. Lots of acidity! Fresh and clean and neat but a bit of a shock! 2024-2030’ - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16++/20
