Château Potensac 2017

VertdeVin

The nose is fruity. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry, crushed strawberry and crushed raspberry associated with subtle hints of toasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, smooth and offers juiciness as well as a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy raspberry, ripe/juicy cherry and more slightly blackberry associated with fine touches of toasted oak and almond. Tannins are fine and very slightly tight. There is a subtle hint of dark chocolate vanilla on the finish/persistence. Gourmandize on the persistence.

Falstaff

Wine Enthusiast

Tannins in this wine are supple and lithe, providing a good backbone for the blackberry fruits. It is already an attractive wine, ready to drink over the medium term from 2022.

James Suckling

Lots of blackberries and currants, as well as violets and stone. Medium to full body. Creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. Precise. A blend of 47% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon, 17% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color and blended of 47% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Potensac reveals delicate, perfumed scents of roses, chocolate-covered cherries, spice box and mulberries with hints of wild sage and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, the palate exudes freshness with plenty of bright, crunchy black fruits, framed by grainy tannins, finishing with an herbal lift.
