Chateau Potensac, Haut-Medoc 2020

"The 2020 Château Potensac is another beautiful wine and shows how good the northern Médoc was in 2020. Dense purple, with lots of cassis and darker currant fruits, it's medium-bodied, and has a juicy, lively, concentrated texture, good tannins, and beautiful graphite and floral notes. It's certainly an outstanding wine and well worth seeking out. It's going to need 4-5 years of bottle age but should have a broad drink window."

"The 2020 Potensac is a jewel of a wine. Bright acids give the 2020 notable energy that is immediately apparent. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, rose petal, star anise and crushed rocks are all beautifully laced together. This finely cut, chiseled Médoc is a winner. I imagine it will age gracefully for a number of years to come."

"Plenty of currants and flowers with crushed stone. Slate and iron, too. Lead pencil. Medium-bodied with racy and polished tannins that show intensity and length. Linear and focused. 44% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Drink after 2025."

"This is very balanced and round with lovely softness. Plenty of fruity. Medium body. Lots of salinity and savouriness. Long and delicious. Friendly already. 44% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot."
