Tasting note: A sleeper of the vintage, the 2009 is probably the finest Potensac ever made, eclipsing even the stunning 1982. This blend, dominated by both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, hit 13.9% alcohol, but the pH is a normal 3.58. Dense, rich, and full-bodied with lots of freshness, the wine reveals abundant red and black currant fruit, a distinctive minerality, and a plush, full-bodied mouthfeel. (89-91pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 89-91
Drink: 2010-25

Tasting note: Colorful wine with a discreet nose and a smooth, fruity mouth, with normal body, rather aromatic. Average length. (86pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Intense aromas of currant and blackberry, with hints of licorice, follow through to a full body, with a balance of tannins and a spearmint and mineral aftertaste. (87-90pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
