The 2022 Seña enters on a reticent note, quietly opening up to reveal a dark, leather-bound nose with hints of turned earth, cedar, liquorice and graphite accents that manage a levity and high-toned energy. The palate is lively and spry, driven by bright treble tones balanced with weighty, broad depth and a perfectly suave texture. The finish is juicy yet tense, structured and refined, with impressive length and coiled energy. Ever-expanding in the glass, this is a gorgeous, energetic and exuberant example of poise and clarity that should be a pleasure to follow in the cellar. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 9% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot aged 18 months mainly in French barrique with some foudre.
The 2021 Seña wine is regarded as one of the finest vintages from this iconic label, resulting from a cooler year, akin to 2016 and 2018. It features an expressive nose that is elegant, nuanced, and complex. The grapes were harvested later than in previous years, keeping the alcohol content below 14%. This vintage is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec, 17% Carmenere, and 6% Petit Verdot, predominantly fermented in stainless steel with 10% aged in oak foudre. The wine is fine-grained, structured, and juicy, reminiscent of 2018 but with greater finesse. It offers a spicy twist from the Cabernet and ultra-refined tannins, resulting in a wine with length, purity, and elegance.
