Chateau Potensac 2016
75cl
A Bordeaux blend of 44% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc & 2% Petit Verdot. The weather was quite unusual that year but it seems to have created a fantastic wine which is suitable for drinking now but could also benefit from some ageing. Plenty of depth in the flavour and well-rounded.

Wine Advocate | Blended of 44% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Potensac features chocolate box and Sichuan pepper scents with a core of cassis, warm blackberries, kirsch and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it has a great core of expressive black fruits, grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing with a red fruit lift. — Parker, 90 points |
