2008 - Chateau Potensac

"Perhaps the finest Potensac made since the 1982, the 2008 is undoubtedly a sleeper of the vintage...While lacking the prestige of a grand cru classe, it offers an amazing display of sweet black cherry and cassis fruit intermixed with notions of earth and spice. Good purity, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, a seamless balance, ripe tannins, and fresh acids result in an amazing wine that should sell for a song. It should evolve for a decade or more." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 90-92 pts.
"Offers currant and blackberry. Very aromatic. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and bright acidity. Very fresh. The best Potensac in years." -Wine Spectator, 88-91 pts.
