Merchant's description

The 2020 Le Dragon de Quintus is an expert blend of 84.7% Merlot and 15.3% Cabernet Franc, boasting a robust 15.2% ABV. Displaying a deep garnet-purple hue, it offers enticing aromas of plum preserves, kirsch, black raspberries, and cinnamon toast, with subtle notes of mossy tree bark and incense. The full-bodied palate is abundant with juicy black and red berries, complemented by velvety tannins and refreshing acidity, culminating in a long and spicy finish.
