A classic Bordeaux red wine from the northern Médoc, showcasing the traditional, age-worthy style Château Potensac is known for.
Château Potensac 1995 is a mature, elegant red that delivers classic Médoc character rather than sheer power. Deep ruby in colour with signs of development, it offers aromas of herb-tinged blackcurrant and cassis, alongside cedar, gentle spice and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, this Bordeaux blend is medium-bodied and supple, with rounded dark fruit, savoury undertones and a firm but well-integrated structure. The finish is dry, balanced and gently earthy, showing the tertiary complexity you’d expect from a well-aged Cru Bourgeois Médoc. A refined, old-school claret for lovers of traditional Bordeaux red wine.
