Description

2000 Chateau Potensac  - $50 


"In my report on the 2000 vintage in issue #146 (dated 4-23-03), I forgot to include my review of the 2000 Potensac. The character of Château Potensac, which is without a doubt the most successful Médoc of the vintage, is a direct reflection of the very smooth production of the Léoville Las Cases team.  It is a beautiful sleeper of the vintage. Rich and concentrated, it may be the finest Potensac since the 1982." - Rated 89, Robert Parker

"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. –JS" - Rated 88, Wine Spectator



2000 - Chateau Cantemerle  $60


"This is a nicely textured, plum/ruby-colored 2000, with a moderately intense bouquet of black fruits intermingled with licorice, vanilla, and plums. The wine is pure, elegant, medium-bodied, and stylish. While not a blockbuster, it is delicious, nicely structured, and accessible."  -  89 pts. Robert Parker


"Opulent red. Intense aromas of currants, cigar tobacco and berries. Full-bodied, with a solid core of silky tannins and a long finish. Well-made. Best after 2008."  -   91 pts. Wine Spectator
