A quick CV tasting with Margaret L on her return trip stopover. Sage Forest leaves and earth on nose and lively palate. Complex finish. Deeper and denser than the regular 2007 — 9 months ago

Made from low yielding 90-year old vines, deep Ruby with aromas of red/black fruits and floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with cacao, black pepper and floral citrus. Firm tannins on a long finish ending with fruit and mineral character. Nice but needs a few years in big the bottle!! — 4 years ago

This wine is dark in color. It smells like it has been perfumed, with ripe red berries, plums and cherries on the nose. The fruit is layered over an herbal note, but not anything like bell pepper or peas. It smells like cedar trees. The nose of a Paso Cab always grabs me, and this one does it to the fullest. The palate is simply beautiful. Whenever I start thinking I could get along with ten dollar wines, along comes a wine like this one to show me the folly of that thought. The fruit flavors tend toward the dark side, while sweet oak provides a beautiful lift. The tannins are silky smooth, even upon opening the bottle. The winery says you’d better have some seared lamb to pair with it. — 6 months ago

Omg this is amazing. It’s not like any other rose I’ve had. It has nice florals and mouthfeel with a creaminess you don’t find in other rose’s. Absolutely love this. Magnum L13/12 CV — 3 years ago

Je voulais ouvrir mon premier 2008 du CV pour voir ce qu’ils ont dans le ventre. Agréablement surpris, je crois qu’il va s’agir d’un millésime tres classique, cigar, tabac blond, graphite, mine de crayon. Ce Potensac etait tres bien, belle finale, pour le prix d’antan rien à redire. Selon moi, ce millésime va ressemble à la trajectoire des 2001. Que j’apprécie beaucoup! — 4 years ago
