Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc) 2018

93+
/100

Lobenberg: Godset hører til Leoville Las Cases, og vinen viser altid, at LLC-teamet her forsøger at skabe en kæmpevin ved hjælp af kraftig ekstraktion, men det lykkes ikke altid. Kun i varme år, fordi det nordlige Médoc har et køligere terroir. 2018-årgangen er derfor meget vellykket, ikke overekstraheret, og der er nok fyldig frugt til at understøtte kroppen. Den hører dermed allerede til blandt de allerbedste i Médoc.

Årsrapporten

Den enestående årgang 2018 går fra succes til succes i Bordeaux. Efter et ekstremt vådt forår fulgte en perfekt, tør drømmesommer, der sikrede en fænomenal frugtkoncentration. På trods af mild syre imponerer vinene takket være en storslået balance, en silkeagtig struktur og uendelig finesse.

Suckling om: Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc)

Fruity nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with sage and vanilla. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Savory and juicy with pleasant acidity. Compact and long. Racy. 45% merlot, 36% cabernet sauvignon,18% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Try after 2023.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc)

The Grand Vin 2018 Château Potensac (45% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot) sports a deeper purple, almost opaque hue to go with lots of ripe black cherry and currant-like fruits intermixed with notes of toasty oak, tobacco, graphite, and earth. Richer and more concentrated than the Chapelle de Potensac release, with full-bodied richness and building tannins, it's going to benefit from a solid 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 15+.

Galloni om: Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc)

The 2018 Potensac is every bit as appealing as it was from barrel. Ripe and pliant, with terrific purity of fruit, the 2018 captures all of the natural radiance of the year. This fleshy Haut-Medoc delivers superb quality in a forward, open-knit style that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. The bouquet shows lovely savory and floral Cabernet notes that work so well with the pliant Merlot fruit. Time in the glass brings out a surprising amount of freshness, with bright acids that suggest 10-15 years of cellaring potential is a safe bet. 92+/100

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc)

The ripe nose exudes fresh, juicy, sweet fruit, cedar, smoke, spice and tobacco notes. Full-bodied with ripe, soft, round tannins and finish filled with sweet, ripe, fresh red berries that linger with flavor. For Potensac this is forward, so you will be able to enjoy this within a few years. This is the finest wine made in the history of Pontesac. The wine was produced from blending 45% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, 14.5 ABV

Parker om: Chateau Potensac Cru Bourgeois (Médoc)

-- Parker: The 2018 Potensac is blended of 45% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, all harvested between September 21 and October 13, with yields of 49 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has 14.42% alcohol and is to be aged in barriques, 35% new; the finished blend was put into barrels last December. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it rolls effortlessly out of the glass with bright, fresh red and black plums, crushed blackcurrants and bay leaves with hints of cracked pepper and damp soil. Full-bodied, rich and laden with red and black fruit layers, it has a plush frame of rounded tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long. 90-92/100
