Sena 2024 (750ML)

98 Points, Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com: "Seña is often more marked by its blue fruit profile, and this year it goes a bit deeper and darker with its serious depth of fresh blackberries, currants, graphite and a restrained touch of cigar box. Precise and refined, with crunchy fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate and a long, expressive finish carrying the juicy fruit to the end. A later harvest from April 5 to the end of April and carmenere until May 2. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 18% malbec, 16% carmenere and 6% petit verdot. Drink or hold." 07/26

96 Points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous: "The 2024 Seña (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carménère, 18% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot) shows a balsamic profile marked by boldo, notes of native forest, black fruit, ripe plum and delicate spice. The palate has structure, with grippy tannins and a certain juiciness. The style aligns closely with the estate's Chilean profile, while the notably lower alcohol level (13.1%) lends balance and precision." 07/26
