2024, Château Sénéjac, HAUT-MÉDOCLast year EP $23. 50 Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot. This is a most delicious easy drinking style and a big PMFW favourite. Fully biodynamic now, and winemaking is overseen by the Pontet Canet team. Exceptional value. The 2024 Snjac has an upfront bouquet with brambly red fruit, briar and light pencil shavings scents, which are cohesive and attractive. The palate is medium bodied with finely knit tannins.

Aromas of licorice

touches of blueberry and hints citrus peel

pencil shavings from the Cabernet and light tertiary scents in the background

This is a fine

with striking inner perfume

giving a sense of restraint and grip

two in oak casks

Very persistent

I have not pulled any punches in recent vintages

Very fine delineation

It's a fabulous wine

It certainly has a plushness that should see this through ageing nicely
