JAMES SUCKLING: "Polished and refined with a deep core of ripe berries with walnut undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Deep and complex."

WEINWISSER: "Intensives blaubeeriges Bouquet, berauschendes Fliederparfüm, Holundersaft. Am kompakten Gaumen mit weicher Textur und typischer Médoc-Struktur, sehr geradlinig mit trainiertem Körper. Im gebündelten Finale verschlankt er sich und endet mit dunklem Graphit, Wacholder und feinsandiger Adstringenz. 2028 – 2042."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Herzkirschen, Lakritze, tabakige Nuancen, Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Komplex, straff, engmaschig, dunkle Waldbeeren, präsente Tannine, mineralisch, noch etwas scheu im Abgang, wird von Reifezeit profitieren."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot, 19.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Potensac is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a bit of swirling to bring out notes of crushed blackberries, cassis, and warm plums, with hints of cracked black pepper and fertile loam. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, with loads of savory sparks on the finish. Nice!"

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Tobacco leaf, cedar, peppery herbs, and black fruits show on the nose, and on the palate. There is volume, intensity, concentration, tannic structure, and a regal bearing for the wine on the palate. By miles, this is the most complete vintage for Potensac I have ever tasted. The wine was produced from blending 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot, 19.5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.14.52% ABV. Drink from 2026-2045."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2022 Château Potensac is based on 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a splash of Petit Verdot. It has lots of ripe blue fruits, graphite, and gravelly earth to go with full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It's a big, rich, tannic Potensac that's going to be long lived. I suspect 3-5 years of bottle age will be warranted here."
