Tasting note

這支2003年出自梅多克高地的酒，有著成熟而穩重的風格。聞香以雪松、煙草盒及森林地表的香氣為主，黑色果實與甘草薄荷的細節緊緊相連。入口中段厚實但不笨重，單寧細緻、酸度清爽帶動整體節奏，橡木味已經融合成香草與香料的背景。酒莊座落於北梅多克的高處，石灰岩下覆蓋黏土與大量礫石，土壤結構賦予酒款礦感與緊實骨架。2003年夏季極熱，九月中下旬的採收讓果實在壓力下保持成熟度與健康。建議醒酒半小時左右，配烤紅肉或風乾起司最合拍。語氣輕鬆、口感經典，非常適合需要有深度與鹹香搭配的餐桌。

A classic Médoc from a warm, memorable vintage, this bottle offers composed, savory aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf and cigar box layered over dark berry fruit and subtle forest-floor notes. The palate is medium-plus in body with good concentration, finely knit tannins and a bright, tangy acidity that keeps the finish fresh. Matured in oak, it shows integrated vanilla and spice rather than overt new-oak weight. Vineyard sites sit on limestone with clay and a high proportion of gravel, giving mineral lift and firm structure. Harvested mid to late September after a very hot summer, the wine balances ripe fruit soulfulness with disciplined structure—drink now with 30–60 minutes decanting or continue to cellar through the stated window.

Winery

波坦薩酒莊長期由德隆（Delon）家族管理，與名莊的傳承背景相連。莊園位在北梅多克的高地，底層是石灰岩，上覆黏土與豐富礫石，這樣的地質讓酒款帶有礦感與緊實的骨架。2003年採收集中於九月中下旬，之後以橡木桶熟成來柔化單寧並引入香草、香料風味。酒莊追求傳統梅多克的平衡與陳年潛力，釀造風格偏向經典且實用的酒款。

Château Potensac is managed by the Delon family (owners associated with Léoville Las Cases) and sits on one of the higher points of the northern Médoc. The estate benefits from limestone subsoil overlain by clay and a large proportion of gravel—soils that produce wines with structure and mineral lift. For this vintage the fruit was harvested from 13 to 25 September and the wine received oak maturation to refine tannins and add subtle spice notes. The estate focuses on classical Médoc balance and age-worthy structure.
