    The 2015 Le Dragon de Quintus is medium to deep garnet in color. It features intense, expressive scents of kirsch, black raspberries, and spice cake with wafts of tobacco leaf and new leather. Full-bodied, the palate has a sturdy structure of chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the savory flavors, finishing a little warm and firm.

    An impressive second wine, the 2015 Le Dragon de Quintus captures the richness of the vintage in spades. The flavors are unctuous and succulent, with plenty of dark cherry, plum, spice and new leather nuances. I imagine the 2015 will drink well upon release. This is exactly what a top-rate second wine should be. The blend is 76% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.
