Chateau Potensac, Medoc, 2016 (375ml)

Château Potensac is the Delon family's Médoc estate, run by the same hands behind the legendary Château Léoville Las Cases — and it has long punched well above its address, earning a reputation as one of the Médoc's standout values. This 2016 comes from one of Bordeaux's great recent vintages, a classic Cabernet-led blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc grown on gravelly clay-limestone rises. Now with a decade of age, it's entering a lovely drinking window: cassis and cedar, savory earth and refined, resolving tannins. A back-vintage Médoc with serious pedigree, here in a half-bottle. Ready to enjoy.
