Lot #8. Potensac 1996

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 90 NM.
"The 1996 Potensac is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc. This vintage has quite a reputation, indeed, at 20 years of age it stands up as one of the over-achievers of the vintage. It has a lively, very pure blackcurrant and bilberry-scented bouquet with crushed stone aromas, very youthful and backward. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, dense tarry black fruit tinged with cedar, a dash of spice towards the structured finish with a lingering saline aftertaste." Wine Advocate #227, Oct 2016
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $400
