Beautiful aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with licorice and tile, following through to a medium to full body with fine tannins and a delicious, creamy finish. So attractive. Second wine. Best after 2025
90 Robert Parker
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. As usual, this bottling tends to derive from lower-lying parcels on deeper, sandier soils than those that inform the grand vin.
90 Wine Spectator
This fresh and pure version has refined edges, thanks to subtle chalky minerality, with a gentle core of damson plum and dark cherry fruit that glides through easily. Features an incense hint that swirls on the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2029. — JM

Produttore
Château Quintus
Originariamente noto come Château Tertre Daugay, Château Quintus è stato acquistato nel 2011 da Domaine Clarence Dillon (di Châteaux Haut-Brion e La Mission Haut-Brion) e subito trasformato. La nuova proprietà è stata rinominata Quintus, nome comune nell’antica Roma per il quinto figlio. Per quanto riguarda la famiglia Dillon, in effetti, si tratta del quinto Grand Vin che producono, dopo i rossi e i bianchi di Haut-Brion e La Mission Haut-Brion. Nel 2013 la famiglia ha acquistato anche Château l'Arrosée, un’altra tenuta nella denominazione di Saint-Émilion, e i loro vigneti sono ora inclusi nella tenuta di Quintus. Oggi questa proprietà ha un totale di 28 ettari piantumati a Merlot (67%) con una percentuale inferiore di Cabernet Franc (33%). Oltre a fare il Château Quintus, i Dillon producono anche un secondo vino chiamato Le Dragon de Quintus. Entrambi i vini sono fatti dal vinificatore di Haut-Brion e La Mission, l’inimitabile Jean-Philippe Delmas.
