Chateau Potensac 1996

(Grand Cru Bourgeois)

(Owned by Jean-Hubert Delon of Leoville Las Cases)

Robert Parker: "This wine is the finest Potensac I have tasted in the last two decades, perhaps the finest ever made. The dense opaque ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black currant fruit intermixed with earth and minerals. Dense and rich, with sweet tannin, good but low acidity, and an accessible, supple personality, this is a surprisingly intense wine that should age well. It is a sleeper of the vintage."
