How much have you tasted? My experience is limited to about a dozen bottles but they have mostly been nice elegant wines. I know he used to make an extraordinary amount of bottlings and some variation is to be expected. But, I've never heard anyone else refer to him as someone whose style was generally over-extracted. And I'm sensitive to these things!

I like Potel & don't find them objectionably overextracted.
