Seña 2009

Chadwick

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 93.0

The joint venture of Eduardo Chadwick (Errazuriz) and Robert Mondavi (Opus One), Seña was created with the initial aim of rivalling the incredible First Growths of Bordeaux. Taking to the global stage in 1997 after launching their 1995 vintage, Seña combines traditional Bordeaux winemaking practices with the sublime terroir of Chile’s Aconcagua Valley.

The wine comprises a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and the indigenous Chilean grape: Carmenere. A superbly fresh wine, expect flavours and aromas of blueberries, raspberries and spices.

Such incredible aromatics on this wine, so much going on. Wildly perfumed, like wild meadow flowers with cherry, leather, coffee and blackcurrant. Smooth and coursing, this is evocative - pulsing with life and energy. The fruit is bright yet rich with mint-edged tannins that support the fruit and overall structure. You get these lovely mature tertiary aromas on the nose but then such youth still on the palate. Feels like a great time to drink this to enjoy the plump and still lively fruit with the tannins that are supportive, smooth and slightly grippy. I love it. A decadent wine, theres power here, but shining brightly right now. Just gorgeous. The first ex-chateau back vintage release, just a few thousand bottles.

Mid ruby. Very green and minty. Smooth, rounded and juicy with pliable tannins on the finish. The strong leafy streak suggests Chile over all. Its an appealing, drinkable style with serious structure, but relies heavily on herbaceousness for its complexity. (RH)
