    Deep plum in colour, this is definitely an impressive Potensac, a ton of graphite, poise, reserve, excellent balance, gives Médoc typicity but also the Delon seriousness and ageability. You can drink this now if you like this pumped up Left Bank feel, or wait, enjoy the slow burn cassis and bilberry. Definitely one to watch.

    The 2022 Potensac, matured in 20% new oak, was one of the best vintages from this Haut-Médoc that I had tasted from barrel. Now in bottle, this is blessed with an impressive, well-defined, focused nose. Its oak is neatly integrated, with plenty of vibrant black fruit laced with light estuarine scents. The palate is medium-bodied and very saline, with touches of sapid black fruit, black olive and black pepper. It's nicely controlled and classical, with residual pepperiness on the finish. This is very fine.

    A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot, 19.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Potensac is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a bit of swirling to bring out notes of crushed blackberries, cassis, and warm plums, with hints of cracked black pepper and fertile loam. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, with loads of savory sparks on the finish. Nice!
