Tasting note: Good medium ruby-red. Slightly medicinal aromas of blueberry, dark chocolate and game, with a liqueur-like exotic quality. Tightly wound and penetrating; in a rather brutal stage today, and not showing the lushness or sweetness of the vintage. Finishes firmly tannic, with a note of licorice. (87pts. Stephen Tanzer)

Tasting note: It is a beautiful sleeper of the vintage. Rich and concentrated, it may be the finest Potensac since the 1982. (89pts. Robert Parker)

Tasting note: Firm and well-done, with focused berry and mineral character throughout. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine and sleek tannins and a long, racy finish. From Jean-Hubert Delon of Las Cases. Best after 2006. (88pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
