Chateau Senejac 2013, CB

We tasted this wine again last Saturday n the afternoon, 30 July 202... Classic ruby, tight rim. It remained fragrant, with dry purple and red flowers. Fresh red cherries, blackcurrants and dark cherries all the way- lightish- still noses sandalwood, lightly dusty and meaty, cedary with a touch of wood spice. Round, easy and full on the palate - well balanced- with adequate length leading to a medium finish reflecting grapes charactersAcceptablete fruit length; easy to drink.

We maintained that as a humble CB classification and origin, Chateau Senejac 2013 is not as full as 2012; it is slightly fresher and has intensity re-designed with creating certain complexities in blending 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot to start. It is oak fermented, nurtured in French oak for 15 months, where 33% is new. Grapes handpicked and sorted. Vines are 45 years old; sufficient production provides good economies of scale. From excellent vintage showing outstanding balance, structure and phenolic ripeness, this wine shouts quality for the class and is stylistically akin to a mature Arsac Margaux. That's good because this wine has thus been aggressively priced low! DD91.

The top score is decent at 89 points Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing.
