A juicy red full of red plums and spiced cherries. Quite succulent and bright, with a medium body and fine tannins. The wine is not heavily extracted, which helps achieve balance and good quality tannins. A lighter year, but I like the poise and drinkability. 78.5% merlot and 21.5% cabernet franc.

The 2024 Le Dragon de Quintus opens with very pretty floral aromatics. Medium in body and gracious, the 2024 is quite attractive. Macerated cherry, cinnamon, rose petal and blood orange are very nicely delineated. The Dragon is perhaps on the lighter side, but its balance is impeccable. This is such an attractive wine.
