Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Excellent deep ruby. Vibrant perfumed aromas of cassis crystallized black cherry Cuban tobacco minerals dark chocolate and mint. Thick sweet and concentrated; ripe and pliant. Lively flavor of crunchy berries. Lovely...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 1996 Potensac is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Franc. This vintage has quite a reputation, indeed, at 20 years of age it stands up as one of the over-achievers of the vintage. It has a...

Its always been a pleasure doing business with JJ Buckley. I've ordered from other online suppliers in the past but I almost exclusively order from JJ Buckley now. I feel their reviews of the wines are honest and pretty spot on. Wines seem to be stored properly and are always shipped in proper packaging.
