VertdeVin
The nose is a bit powerful. It reveals notes of fresh fruits associated with slight notes of spices, wood and a touch of graphite. The palate is fresh, fruity, balanced, well structured, gourmand and offers a good minerality and a certain tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy strawberry, blackberry and slight notes of cassis (background) combined with touches of vanilla on the finish. Good length and persistence.
Wine Enthusiast
With low yields after a hail storm, the wine is concentrated and dense. It has a touch of wood aging as well as dark black fruits. The tannins are firm in a wine that will age well over the medium term. Drink from 2023.

It’s been a while since I had a Potensac like this. Aromatic, very structured and polished with currant character and wonderful length. Polished tannins. Exceptionally small production for this year.

The Château Potensac 2014 is a blend of 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot that includes 13% pressed wine. It was picked between 25 September and 16 October over a total of 14 days. The nose is well defined and classic in style with graphite and cedar infusing the black berry and briary fruit, the Cabernet Franc lending more complexity as it opens in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite noticeable acidity like many in the Médoc, quite lively in the mouth already. There is moderate complexity here and decent length, though it does not evoke a slew of superlatives like Jean-Hubert's finest contributions to the 2014 vintage.
