Tasting notes
Dark glowing crimson. Grunty, very concentrated. Arguably the miracle here is to find a wine from Jean-Hubert Delon under £20. And one you could actually think of drinking too. This should certainly appeal to classicists – especially those knowledgeable enough to know it’s related to the most expensive super second of all, Léoville Las Cases. (JR)

A soft, cedary, herbaceous, but pleasant, round, elegant style of wine, with berry and red currant fruit, and a smooth finish, the 1997 Potensac can be enjoyed over the next 2-4 years.
A fruity and fresh red, with mineral, cherry and raspberry character. Medium body. Firm tannins and a crisp finish. Drink now through 2004. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
