Château Potensac 2003 Red (Médoc)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $20
Managed by Jean-Hubert Delon of Léoville Las Cases, this is without equal in the Medoc appellation. It shows breeding, depth of flavor, beautifully crafted tannins and fine, rich fruit without the overripeness so characteristic of 2003. With its structure, acidity and delicious fruit, this will age as well as any wine from a more classy appellation.  — R.V.  (5/1/2006)

A big, solid wine, foursquare and chunky. The fruit directs its plum fruit flavors to richness, some sweetness, with coffee and licorice as added complexity. There is a great tight wood element giving dryness.  — R.V.  (6/1/2010)

90-92 Barrel sample. With the team of Léoville Las-Cases in charge, this is always one of the high performing Médoc properties. It is tight, dark, taking a while to open. The blackberry flavors are almost stalky, but they are softened by smoky wood.  — R.V.  (12/31/2009)
