Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The 2015 Sénéjac has developed nicely over the last two years, although it remains a wine built on floral/savory aromatics and midweight structure. Sweet red berry, tobacco, mint and licorice add shades of nuance to this decidedly understated Haut-Médoc. I had hoped the 2015 would fill out a bit during its aging, but that has not happened. The blend is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Score: 87 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2018-2027 01 February 2018 |

The 2015 Sénéjac is soft, floral and quite pretty. The 2015 offers lovely up front fruit, but then loses some persistence on the mid-palate and finish. Silky tannins give the wine much of its feminine, gracious personality. Tasted two times. Score: 87 - 89 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 April 2016 |

Mid crimson only. Inky and fragrant. Very sweet palate entry. Finishes dry. Not a standout but very competent. Light- to medium-bodied. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2023-2031 01 April 2016 |

The 2015 Senejac is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. It has a pure, black cherry, pastille-like bouquet with touches of melted tar and licorice. The palate is well balanced with dry, rather masculine tannin on the entry, a good line of acidity, fresh and nicely proportioned with cedar and tobacco furnishing the long finish. This is a well-crafted, capable Sénéjac that deserves 5-6 years in bottle, and I expect it to land at the top of my banded score.
