A dark colour; ripe, quite full blackcurrant and plum fruit, with a touch of eucalyptus. Starting to develop some mature flavours, but with more to come. Enjoyable now, but no hurry.

2018 Seems to work for Senejac. Its got the right weight and is very Haut Medoc in its fresh earthy, unpretentious vibe. Totally restrained on the heavy use of wood, these left bank value wines still deliver the classic french wine feel that many in Saint Emilion have abandoned and lost. This has vanilla, graphite, and is very dry in sugar. Long, cleansing finish makes it a charmer with lunch dishes. Drink or Hold because it definitely has headroom for growth.

Popped and poured. Quintessential example of relatively inexpensive Bordeaux that really pleases. All the rich color you could want. Lead pencil mineral, with red fruit in the nose. Charm. Femininity. Suave entry into the mouth with chewy tannin. I could drink this all day. I don’t know if it was just a vintage or if this wine is always good, but for 2018, it certainly hits the mark. 4-13-16-9: 92/100.

Une belle robe rubis foncé. Un nez de vanille, coco, gâteau reine Elisabeth. Le bois camoufle le fruit. Une bouche tout aussi boisé avec de la vanille, de la noix de coco et du menthol. Les tanins sont mordant. Tout de même agréable.
