One of the sleepers of the vintage is the 2022 Potensac, a dense, concentrated wine redolent of crème de cassis, cigar wrapper and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, layered and youthfully structured, this will reward a bit of patience. Score: 91 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2027-2045 Date: 06 March 2025 |

Deep plum in colour, this is definitely an impressive Potensac, a ton of graphite, poise, reserve, excellent balance, gives Médoc typicity but also the Delon seriousness and ageability. You can drink this now if you like this pumped up Left Bank feel, or wait, enjoy the slow burn cassis and bilberry. Definitely one to watch.

The 2022 Potensac, matured in 20% new oak, was one of the best vintages from this Haut-Médoc that I had tasted from barrel. Now in bottle, this is blessed with an impressive, well-defined, focused nose. Its oak is neatly integrated, with plenty of vibrant black fruit laced with light estuarine scents. The palate is medium-bodied and very saline, with touches of sapid black fruit, black olive and black pepper. It's nicely controlled and classical, with residual pepperiness on the finish. This is very fine. Score: 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2026-2042 Date: 12 February 2025 |

The 2022 Potensac is a pretty rich, heady Haut-Médoc. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, menthol and sage fill out the layers nicely. The 2022 offers a combination of fruit depth and vibrancy that is hugely appealing. This opens beautifully with a bit of coaxing.

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. Score: 90 - 92 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com Date: 10 May 2023 |

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. Score: 94 - 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 04 April 2023 |
