Tasting Notes
One of the most consistently impressive estates in the northern Medoc, Potensac’ s 2006 (made by the same winemaking team that produces the great Leoville Las Cases) reveals a deep ruby hue, notes of sweet cherries, roasted herbs, licorice, and gamy meat, and good fruit, structure, purity, and freshness. It can be drunk now as well as over the next 7-10 years. Good value.
–by Robert Parker
Firm and silky, with berry, currant and cherry character. Medium-bodied, with a clean finish. Best after 2010.
