Heiner Lobenberg om:
Sena 2020

99
/100

Dette er essensen af Chile. Den absolutte high-flyer-blanding og et ærefuldt monument over potentialet i denne vinproducerende nation. Dette joint venture mellem Eduardo Chadwick og Mondavi er beregnet til at konkurrere med de fineste rødvine i verden. Og det kan den uden problemer. I næsen minder Sena om en fin Bordeaux fra venstre bred. Et strejf af grøn peber, brombær og lidt tobak. Kraftfuld i munden, rig på finesse og utrolig kompleks. Tanninerne ligger fint i ganen, og så dukker moden frugt, underskov og lidt grannåle op igen og igen. Bliver enormt længe i munden. Placer denne vin som en pirat blandt de fineste rødvinsblandinger. Sena har, hvad der skal til for at ende meget langt fremme.

Suckling om: Sena

Complex, with savory, spicy character, showing tobacco, salted plums, olives, black cherries, cassis and a hint of white pepper on the nose, followed by a refined, savory, balsamic accent. A full-bodied Seña with juicy fruit chiseling into the tight, extremely fine-grained tannins. Long, bright and still elegant from this warm vintage. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 15% carmenere and 7% petit verdot. A wine with lots of harmony now, but better to drink from 2025. 98/100

Parker om: Sena

The 2020 Seña is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 7% Petit Verdot (a little higher in search of acidity) from grapes harvested early, the second week of March, and fermented mostly in stainless steel and 10% in concrete eggs. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol and good freshness. It's subtle and layered, not only fruit but with more spice; it has polished tannins and very integrated oak after 22 months in barrique, 78% new, and with 10% of the volume in large Stockinger barrels. The warmer years seem to be nicely managed, so that it's not reflected in the ripeness but is more a matter of texture and quality of the tannins; in the warmer years, like 2017 or this 2019, the wines have a little more grip, but these are definitely finer than those from the 2017 vintage. This wine has intensity and complexity, with no mintiness or herbal notes; it's spicy and juicy, with energy and depth. It has structure, color, stuffing and acidity to develop nicely in bottle. 100,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022. 97/100

Tim Atkin om: Sena

Continuing the shift in style and weight that’s been apparent in Seña since 2014 – not easyto maintain in an extreme vintage like 2020 – the latest release is impressively bright and low in alcohol at just 13.5%. The assemblage here marries Cabernet Sauvignon with 25% Malbec, 15% Carmenère and 7% Petit Verdot, aged in 78% new wood and some larger foudres for texture. Floral and refreshing, with stylish rose petal and cinnamon top notes, layers of plum, bramble and redcurrant fruit, a balsamic undertone, stylish oak and the structure and acid backbone to age convincingly in bottle. 2025-35 97/100
