2019 Senejac

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.

The 2019 Sénéjac, matured in 30% new oak, has retained its lovely mulberry and raspberry scents on the nose, though it’s perhaps a little livelier and more vivacious than I remember from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with fine tannins, tart red fruit and gentle grip. That salinity is still intact, and there’s a bit more length than before. Very fine.
