May 7, 2022 - We have drunk a range of the Potel 2005s. This has some charms -- a restrained, spicy complexity -- but is still a letdown after the Volnay, mostly because the acidity has more or less vanished, so the wine lacks some zip.
December 23, 2019 - Weekly tasting group RWP #355: Some random wines (@ DJ): Rustic bouquet with some minerals and cherries. On the palate raspberries and cherries, earth, herbs and spices, stone, firm acidity and slightly sticky tannin.
December 22, 2019 - A point good character no complexity
March 26, 2018 - Last and best bottle. Very nicely balanced. In it's window.
February 5, 2014 - Lovely villages wine. Nice fruit profile, gentle but intense palate. Good oak and acid balance. Delicious.
December 31, 2013 - Light dark red. Nose of raspberries and some oak and earty tones. Fresh and concentrated wine with a spicy, long finish. Great, ripe wine from a great vintage.
August 27, 2012 - Delightful. Pleasant nose, medium finish.
April 29, 2012 - Dark Ruby color, Ripe red cherries and Raspberries on the nose. Also an earth component: wild mushrooms, some mint as well as cola. Acidity was only medium, the alcohol was medium plus, a bit higher than I would like. The fruit was very ripe on the palate, confirming al the red fruits but also getting some blackberries. Cola on the palate indicates some new oak, but very well integrated and by no mean intrusive. Nice long length. This wine was very good. Very ripe vintage, so I felt could use more acidity and a touch less acohol.
March 25, 2012 - Closed down hard. All acid and structure, little fruit. Wait a couple more years.
March 1, 2011 - Drank with Marc and Lies discussing business plan. Way more fruit than the Volnay. Strawberry and red berries on the palate. Rather short finish. Opened up after 1,5 hours. Pleasant, not great.
