Rather seductive Senejac with blackcurrant and chocolate character, as well as some walnuts and dried flowers . It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Nice balance. Consistent in the trilogy.

Tasted by Jane Anson(at Primeur week tastings in Bordeaux, 01 May 2021)

Gentle coffee smoke on the nose and spiced waves of flavour that add interest and complexity. This is a good wine with gentle acidities and enough autumnal berry fruit to carry it off. Juicy on the finish, this is another successful vintage at Sénéjac.

Drinking Window 2025 - 2038

Showing deep color, leather, cedar, tree leaf, spice and red currants pop right off the bat, this wine is medium/full-bodied with sandy, soft tannins and freshness in the finish. This should show well with just a few years of age. 89-91

(54% CS, 34% M, 6% CF, 6% PV; 33hl/ha; 13.88% ABV, 30% new)
Ripe red and black fruit and subtle mineral impressions; fresh to lively, elegant midweight of moderate concentration and fine-grain tannins, a very nice, fresh, medium-weight balance; refreshing, red fruit-flavored mid-rank Bordeaux, lightly aromatic, with good core fruit and length. Classic Sénéjac: pretty, floral, appetizing. Will be delicious in 3 to 4 years. 2025–35+.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 Senejac features notes of sour cherries, raspberry leaves and redcurrants with a waft of tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate is crunchy and refreshing, delivering red berry and herbal flavors with a chewy texture and short, uncomplicated finish.
