Note di degustazione
The 2001 Potensac has a clean, fresh bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and cedar scents, just a touch of mint emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite firm and structured but pleasingly fresh after 20 years. Perusing an old note from 2007, I see that I was scathing in my review, but this solid, dense Potensac has held up well.

Solid and meaty – very rewarding for the age and price. Would make a great present, being cheaper and readier than it looks. A real bruiser that has more than a nod at a St-Estèphe. (JR)
Vibrant crimson. Quite nicely integrated on the nose but very aggressive dry tannins on the finish. Needs quite a bit of time. (JR)
Always impressively made by Jean-Hubert Delon (the proprietor of Leoville Las Cases and Nenin), Potensac’s 2001 is an elegant, medium-bodied Medoc offering dried herb and berry fruit characteristics in an open-knit, attractively fruity, pure style. Restaurants should be buying this one by the case for their patrons to enjoy now and over the next 7-8 years.
