This was an interesting wine. Very structured and with almost zero fruit left. Strong tannins though. Had it's enjoyable moments, but I would have hoped for a bit more from this.

This is in the perfect drinking window now. Nice ruby translucent colour with no sign of browning. Just a bit tight on the nose on opening, but gradually opened up in the next hour with a complex melange of dark fruits, minerals and a slight touch of spice. Considering the price, it's a steal. Do not serve too warm! Nicolas Potel in the late 90s to early 2000s (before 2005) can be very impressive. Try it. Enjoy!

Unpleasantly oxidized. Sadly.

This was GOOD. Perfect drinking window. Nice open fragrant nose. Medium bodied with long finish. What else do you want?

great nose, floral aroma, medium bodied, fruity and sweet tannin perfectly integrated with the acidity, well balanced and elegant, drink well now.
