The 2015 Sénéjac has developed nicely over the last two years, although it remains a wine built on floral/savory aromatics and midweight structure. Sweet red berry, tobacco, mint and licorice add shades of nuance to this decidedly understated Haut-Médoc. I had hoped the 2015 would fill out a bit during its aging, but that has not happened. The blend is 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.

The 2015 Senejac is medium garnet-purple colored with an earthy nose of pepper, damp soil, cassis and plums. The medium-bodied palate is chewy and tart, lacking fruit and finishing a little rubbery.

Nez sur les fruits rouges, assez linéaire. Bouche souple, fruitée. Corps moyen, équilibré. Finale souple.

The 2015 Senejac is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. It has a pure, black cherry, pastille-like bouquet with touches of melted tar and licorice. The palate is well balanced with dry, rather masculine tannin on the entry, a good line of acidity, fresh and nicely proportioned with cedar and tobacco furnishing the long finish. This is a well-crafted, capable Sénéjac that deserves 5-6 years in bottle, and I expect it to land at the top of my banded score. Drink 2020-2035

Medium/full bodied, with good color and an earthy, tobacco, thyme and dark red berry character, finishing with fresh, crisp black raspberries and spice in the endnotes.

Floral, élancé, svelte et frais, avec un tannin fin et un petit caractère végétal très élégant.

The 2015 Sénéjac is soft, floral and quite pretty. The 2015 offers lovely up front fruit, but then loses some persistence on the mid-palate and finish. Silky tannins give the wine much of its feminine, gracious personality. Tasted two times.

Good, lifted cassis fruit and polished winemaking. Another elegant Sénéjac with depth and finesse. 2019-2028

Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Das Bouquet ist halb floral, halb fruchtig, zeigt gewisse blättrige Noten im zweiten Ansatz. Saftiger, - für den Jahrgang - sehr leicht gehaltener Gaumen, insgesamt stimmt aber der Rest, herrliches Heidelbeerfinale. Ein gastronomischer Sénéjac. 17/20 2020 – 2034
