Château Sénéjac 2019

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Vinified by Château Talbot's Jean-Michel Laporte, the 2019 Sénéjac delivers aromas of smoky blackberries, pencil shavings and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and charming palate framed by fine tannins and concluding with a saline, mouthwatering finish. It's a fine effort that comes recommended.

JEFF LEVE, THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER

VERTDEVIN

The nose is very finely tight and offers a good definition, a small power, a fine grain and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry, small notes of grey pepper associated with fine hints of mild tobacco, almond, raspberry as well as touches of wild cassis, touches of pepper and spices. The palate is juicy, mineral, fresh and offers roundness, a small fat and a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, juicy raspberry, small notes of cassis associated with touches of violet, lily, a racy minerality/sense of the place as well as hints of zan, nutmeg and sweet spices. Tannins are well-built and very finely firm. Good length and good persistence.

James Suckling

Currant, berry and tobacco aromas and flavors with some thyme and coffee bean. Full-bodied, chewy and polished. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024.
