Château Potensac 2008 — a beautifully mature Médoc from the Delon family.
Château Potensac, owned by Domaines Delon (of Léoville-Las Cases) since 1961, crafts powerful yet balanced Médoc reds. With over a decade of bottle age, the 2008 is smooth, savoury and elegant — a showcase of the Médoc's ageing potential.
A complex bouquet of blackcurrant and plum with cedar, tobacco, leather and earth. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and refined, with dark fruit, spice and leather over softened, well-integrated tannins and crisp acidity, finishing long with minerality and spice.
