NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Château Vieux Potana Lalande-de-Pomerol offers a bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums. These aromas are complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and earthy notes, adding depth and complexity to the wine.The palate of this wine is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. The flavors of black fruits continue on the palate, accompanied by nuances of vanilla, spices, and a touch of chocolate. The wine displays excellent balance and structure, with a long and lingering finish.
