Critics Ratings
‘Perfumed, almost new world nose of blueberry and blackberry jam. Lively and zesty yet wonderfully soft, with finely honed tannins and a fresh, long finish. Super-enjoyable!’ – Decanter.com, 92/100 (Oct 2018)
‘This chateau is under the same ownership as Saint-Julien's Château Talbot. The wine is firm, fruity, rich and concentrated, showing all the best qualities of 2010. There is a complex array of black fruits which are sustained by the firm, solid tannins. Age for at least 6–7 years.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Feb 2013)
‘Lively deep crimson. Leathery nose. Round and supple and surprisingly low in tannins. Really rather sophisticated. Lovely fresh, appetising quality to this very friendly, cool wine. Super clean.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2012)
‘The Senejac has a superb bouquet with vigorous blackberry, wild strawberry and tobacco-tinged aromas that soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, dry tannins. There is plenty of substance here with a dash of black pepper and cedar on the finish. Very St. Estephe like: this is an excellent cru bourgeois. Drink now-2018.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Nov 2012)
