CRITIC REVIEWS
JoaquÃn Hidalgo
The 2021 Sena is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 27% Malbec, 17% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot from Ocoa in the Aconcagua Valley. It was aged for 22 months, 90% in French oak barrels (70% new) and 10% in foudres. Purple with a garnet sheen. The nose presents vivid redcurrant and blackcurrant notes with a layer of garrigue against a cigar box backdrop. Dry in the mouth, refreshing acidity stirs up finely grained tannins to channel the palate. A lingering, fruity red that will grow in the bottle.

Full bottle 1,427 g. Bit heavy! 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Malbec, 17% Carmenere, 6% Petit Verdot. Aged 22 months, 90% in French oak barrels (70% new) and 10% in foudres. Deep crimson. Luscious fruit but real lift. There's that Chilean green/chocolate thing (Carmenere?) but overall it's a satisfying wine made with sensitivity from ripe but not too-ripe grapes. Dry, appetising finish. (JR)
