Potensac other_regions_italy

Potensac other_regions_italyThe 2010 Potensac has a high toned, airy bouquet with balsamic and Hoisin infusing the black fruit. The palate is well defined with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. There is something just a little Oriental about the style of this Potensac that delivers impressive body and grip on the finish. Very fine. Tasted from an ex chteau bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10 Year On tasting. Neal Martin

earth and a whiff of leather

The finish is soft and luscious

This cru site is composed of sedimentary layers of sandy

it is built on its minerality with very fine intensity to the medium weight plus flavors that also culminate in an impressively long but still quite compact finish

Asian spices

A lush style

An exuberantly spicy nose features additional aromas of black cherry

I am not sure how Angelo Gaja and his team do it

Having said that

in 2014 this was vinified with ~15% whole clusters)

50% Cabernet Sauvignon

reminded me of Casanova di Neri’s Cerretalto Brunello (made with grapes grown at the opposite end of the Montalcino territory)
