2010 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino
2/25/2022 - VegasDocEasy Likes this wine: 93 Points
Beautiful wine with lots of life left in it. Good fruit, secondaries starting to develop and a hint of spice to tie it all together. Probably would have benefited from a 4 hour decant but very good right out of the bottle.

2012 Château Quintus

Tasted at a winemaker event with 2015 Quintus and Le Dragon, and 2016 Quintus and Le Dragon. The nose had a prominent candied red fruit element - almost like SweeTarts, in a good way. Strong alcohol on nose and palate. It's easy to drink but nothing extraordinary.

2016 Château Quintus Le Dragon de Quintus

Tasted at a winemaker event with 2015 Quintus, 2016 Quintus and Le Dragon, and 2012 Quintus. There was a divergence of opinion as to whether 2015 or 2016 was better. I strongly preferred 2015. I found this wine to have a blackberry nose and rough tannins overwhelming flavors that were difficult to discern. Some preferred this to the 2015 Dragon. I thought the 2015 Dragon was much better. Perhaps this will get better with age.
