Wine Advocate 86 / 100 par Robert Parker le 30/04/2015 This dark ruby/purple 2012 from Sénéjac exhibits a slight astringency to the tannin, but good ripeness, loads of blackcurrant fruit as well as earth, and very good depth. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
Jamessuckling.com 90 / 100 par James Suckling le 15/02/2015 Intense aromas and flavors of black cherries and juicy plums with cedar notes. Full body, soft tannins and a long, silky finish. Firm and juicy. Better in 2017.
Wine Spectator 84 / 100 par James Molesworth le 01/01/2015 Soft-edged, with relatively gentle mulled plum and cherry fruit flavors, backed by modest tobacco and sandalwood notes. Drink now. 15,500 cases made.
Le Point 14 / 20 par Jacques Dupont le 16/05/2013 Nez fermé, fruits noirs, cerise, bouche vive, fruitée, tendue, serrée en finale. Vin plutôt carré, un peu de tanins rugueux en finale, un peu extrait. O= 2016 G= 8 ans.
Asian Palate 87 / 100 par Jeannie Cho Lee MW le 15/05/2013 Well made Haut-Medoc red with juicy flavours and well managed tannins. There is ripe plums and cassis flavours along with firm tannins and freshness. A balanced wine with medium weight and elegance.
Wine Advocate 86-88 / 100 par Neal Martin le 03/05/2013 The 2012 Sénéjac has a modest blackberry and raspberry leaf nose with fine definition if not quite the vigour of its peers. The palate is soft and supple on the entry with herbaceous, slightly dusty red fruit and a graphite-tinged finish that appeared more focused in the second bottle tasted at a négociant. Fine. Tasted April 2013.
My Bettane + Desseauve 15,5-16 / 20 le 25/04/2013 Gras et harmonieux, bel équilibre du fruit, tannin souples, allonge tendre, en fraîcheur.
Decanter.com 16 / 20 par Steven Spurrier le 22/04/2013 Good supple cassis fruit and all the balanced elegance of this cru from the southern Medoc. 16/20pts ( 86/100pts)Drink: 2016 - 2022
Jancis Robinson 16 / 20 par Jancis Robinson le 17/04/2013 Drink 2017-2025Refreshing pure cassis and pretty cedary. Smooth, savoury and still juicy. Lovely dry fine-grained finish. Attractive, relatively delicate, in a leafy style. GV (JH)
Wine Enthusiast 89-91 / 100 par Roger Voss le 11/04/2013 Barrel sample. This is a solid effort that’s packed with blackberry fruits and dark tannins. The wine has weight and structure that is balanced with the fruitiness.
Jamessuckling.com 89-90 / 100 par James Suckling le 04/04/2013 A firm and juicy wine with berry and sweet tobacco character. Medium-to-full body, with integrated tannins and a balanced finish.
