Clear deep ruby/garnet; clean medium plus nose of green pepper, stewed plums, barnyard, cassis and leather; dry; high acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter and a little sour; medium plus finish; very disappointing compared to other vintages that we’ve tried; the green pepper note, the sourness and the overall thinness was troubling; could be an off bottle or perhaps an off vintage; we have one more bottle left - I’ll give it a few more years in the cellar

Quite similar to the 2017 I had earlier, strong cassis, tobacco, oak, blackcurrant, very elegant green bell pepper notes providing lovely freshness. I reckon this is pretty much ready to drink.

Sena should be drunk very Young, I think. Two years ago this wine was excellent and now it is just good. The power is reduced. Complexity is condensed. No compare can be drawn any longer to a good Bordeaux. More earthy notes now than two years ago.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; South America (@ RW): A lot of sweet and ripe red fruits and sweet spices in the bouquet. Same on the palate. A lot of sweetness, strawberries, medium and elegant acidity.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Pinot Noir versus Spätburgunder (@ RW): Cigar and sweet tobacco in the bouquet, sweet vanilla as well. Same on the palate, sweet spices, chocolate, soft bitterness. Beautiful and complex and in a nice drinking stage after a decant.
