JancisRobinson.com – 16+/20pts – TP: *Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Quite a plump, summer-pudding-like nose. Sinewy and firm, but with enough fruit to boot. There is austerity, but it is on the right side of balanced. A slender but well-defined palate that will please classicists in structure.* - 09/2021

Vinous.com – 88 pts – AG: *The 2017 Potensac is an attractive, supple wine to drink now and over the next few years. There is lovely purity and aromatic lift to the fruit, if not quite the aromatic or structural complexity of the best years. Then again, that is 2017. Tasted two times.* - 03/2020

Vinous.com – 88 pts – NM: *The 2017 Potensac has a straightforward, well defined bouquet with slightly rustic red fruit mixed with tobacco and smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with quite chewy tannin. The acidity lends this freshness and bite, although it just misses a touch of finesse towards the finish. Still, there is fine length. It should drink well for a decade.* - 02/2020
