Berry and earthy, spicy character. Toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins. A little hollow

Tasted at Vintex. There are some exotic, apricot notes on the nose that despite some signs of sur-maturite, is well defined and fresh. The palate has firm, gritty tannins on the entry, black toasty fruit with some dryness affecting the finish. Moderate length. This comes across as a little dour and too serious for its own good. Tasted March 2010
Mid dark crimson. Well balanced. Savoury and succulent with just a slight polish of 2009 over it. Not sweet at all. God stuff. Serious wine. GV Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com
This is a major sleeper of the vintage and the finest Senejac I have tasted. The team from Pontet Canet, who have done such a phenomenal job at that estate, were in charge of making this Senejac, and the result, not surprisingly, is a sensational wine that consumers need to buy by the case. Dense purple, with notes of creme de cassis, incense, licorice and forest floor, this wine is delicious and full-bodied, with sweet tannins, low acidity, copious fruit and exceptional concentration. Everything is in balance, and the wine is capable of lasting 10 or more years. Feb 2012, www.robertparker.com
