96/100Matthew Luczy,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Using a higher proportion of Carmenere than is typical, the 2023 Sena opens with its signature fresh, lifted bouquet driven by mint, spice and red fruit aromas, developing graphite accents and a vanilla-tinged undercurrent with aeration. The palate beautifully balances a suave polish with tensile focus, releasing into a rich, slow-moving finish underpinned by mineral-driven nuances and a touch of refreshing salinity. This impressive showing from Sena in a warm vintage retains admirable freshness and verve. The blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec, 15% Carmenere, 6% Petit Verdot matured for 18 months in barrique and a small portion of foudre.

95/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

This is one to look out for, an excellent vintage that has silky tannins delivering grip and texture. Easy to stay engaged with the dark fruits, spiced plum and tobacco leaf, licorice root, lavender, violet, this is ripe without being overly sweet, long drawn out finish. Eduardo Chadwick owner, Emily Falconer winemaker. 70% new oak for ageing.

95/100Joaquin Hidalgo,Vinous

The 2023 Seña is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Malbec, 15% Carménère and 6% Petit Verdot from Ocoa. This aged for 18 months in 70% new French oak barrels, 20% second-use barrels and 10% in large foudres. It opens with forest floor and boldo aromas, followed by lavender, violet and black fruit. The expression is clean and precise. This is dry and taut, with fine-grained, reactive tannins and a long, juicy palate. Despite the warm year, it retains freshness and a graceful character, with a lingering finish and subtle power.
