JAMES SUCKLING: "Beautiful dark fruit with purity and freshness. Medium- to full-bodied, seamless and compact. Outstanding quality of tannins, so fine and dense. It’s muscular and taut on the mid-palate. Lingering, too. Plenty of energy. Close to 2022."

VINUM: "Verhaltener Duft, dunkelfruchtig, steinig, kühl im Ausdruck, etwas Zartbitterschokolade; straffer Gaumen, konzentriert, markantes, feinkörniges Tannin, knackige Frucht, ein Wein mit Zug und Rasse, von dichtem Bau und doch mit viel Eleganz. Viel Wein fürs Geld, kann reifen."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Medium-bodied, with a floral edge to the red with black currants, tobacco, and savory herbs round out the character here, The wine is bright, sweet, savory, and crisp, in its chewy finish. The wine was produced from blending 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 17% Cabernet Franc.13.4% ABV. Drink from 2027-2045."

DECANTER: "Dark aromatics, violet, blackcurrant. Clean and clear, crystalline and pure, doesn’t have so much flesh, relatively lean, but actually is more crisp than harsh. Good structure, needs to fill out a little and is missing some sweetness, but then the menthol and herbal accents are lovely. Chalky and powdery tannins fill the mouth. Nice length and lift on the finish. 3.62pH."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Ripe redcurrants, cassis, graphite, and smoked tobacco as well as some floral notes all emerge from the 2023 Château Potensac, a medium-bodied, lively, beautifully balanced, Potensac that has fine tannins and the fresh yet focused, balanced style of the vintage."
