90/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2019 Potensac is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It strides out with classic scents of cassis, cedar, and pencil lead, giving way to hints of wild sage and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate offers bright red and black fruits flavors with a chewy texture, finishing on a stewed tea note.

89/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2019 Pontensac has an open-knit red cherry and crushed strawberry scented nose that conveys joie-de-vivre. The palate is sweet on the entry, fleshier than expected, a little oaky and missing a bit of grip on the finish. Like the 2019 Le Boscq, this is early drinking, but does the job. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

90/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Always a dependable bottling, the 2019 Potensac opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and nicely concentrated, with lively acids and powdery tannins, the vintage has made for an unusually polished Potensac that will offer a broad drinking window.

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Here the raspberry and redcurrant fruits that were present in La Chapelle have filled out and deepend, with a luscious richness through the mid palate. There are still plenty of Médoc tannins showing tension and layering, and you need to give it time to open in the glass. A little tense and nervy right now but good quality - benefitting from an uprooting of 20ha of the less impressive parts of the vineyard to focus on the highest quality sectors. Harvest September 21 to October 9. 3.54ph.
