Description

Some mathematical confusion on the percentages of the grape blends (see below) by both Robert Parker and Neal Martin,but they are both agreed that there is 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Cabernet Franc in it and that it is a terrific wine!...


"The 2010 is a winner again and a sleeper of the vintage. A blend of 52% Merlot,37% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest a whopping 21% Cabernet Franc (which is unusual in this part of Bordeaux) has loads of cedar,wood, sweet cherries,some damp earth and a hint of strawberry liqueur in a medium-bodied, elegant style meant for consuming over the next decade or more.
Leave it to Jean-Hubert Delon to make a second wine from his northern frontier territory of Potensac,for decades one of the most reliable and value-priced wines of Bordeaux".
(88 Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. March 2013).


"This is one of the fruitiest Potensacs that I remember, with loads of blueberry and currants. Full and velvety. Plenty going on underneath".
(91-92 Points).

James Suckling. (JamesSuckling.com April 2011).


"The Potensac '10 is a blend of 42% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot including 9.3% vin de presse. It offers 13.6% alcohol with a pH of 3.55. There is just a slight sense of sur-maturité on the nose perhaps from the Merlot, just a hint of prune. Not over the top but it is just there. The palate is full-bodied with succulent grippy tannins...a huge Potensac that is redeemed but very silky finish. Long in the mouth, one of the few 2010's that actually reminds me of the 2009. Tasted March 2010".
(89-91 Points).

Neal Martin. (RobertParker.com April 2011)


"Very dark crimson. Rich and scented and very ripe black fruit on the nose. Loose texture - much more so than I would have imagined for this property in 2010 - with tightening tannins only on the very end. Almost painful levels of tannin and acidity on the finish. Bit of a trial to taste at this stage. Were stones macerated in the fermentation vat? A lesson in austerity".
(16/20 Points).

Jancis Robinson MW. (JancisRobinson.com April 2011).


"Dense blackcurrant fruit, still backward, but much more class than its Médoc neighbours and a very good future. Drink 2015-25".
(16.5/20 Points).
