Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling

What a racy and focused Potensac with wonderful density and finesse as well as a firm and polished tannins that hold the whole thing together. A beautiful, reasoned young red. One of best Potensacs in a long time. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

Score 90-92/100 · Wine Enthusiast

With its fine tannins and ripe fruit aromas and flavors, this wine brings out all the elements of the vintage: great structure and great fruit. It's not a powerful wine, but is stylish and likely to be ready to drink within 10 years. Apr 2017, Roger Voss, www.wineenthusiast.com

Score 88-91/100 · Wine Spectator

Lovely cherry paste and cassis flavors are fresh and open, backed by light plum pit and chalk notes that impart focus on the finish. Nicely done. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. 30% new oak. Bright crimson. Racy and very rich and polished. Lovely tannins. Very juicy. Some tannin and potential underneath. Firm structure but no austerity. GV? Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2033
