- 98 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: Extremely bright flowers and citrus with graphite, currants and blueberries. The nose is like going into a flower shop. Medium
- to full-bodied with extremely polished tannins that caress your palate. Firm at the finish, which tells you that there is plenty coming in the future. A blend of 60 cabernet sauvignon, 25 malbec, 9 carmenere, 6 petit verdot. Try after 2028, but already open and enticing.
- 97 Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Matthew Laczy (082024): The 2022 Seña enters on a reticent note, quietly opening up to reveal a dark, leather-bound nose with hints of turned earth, cedar, licorice and graphite accents that manage a levity and high-toned energy. The palate is lively and spry, driven by bright treble tones balanced with weighty, broad depth and a perfectly suave texture. The finish is juicy yet tense, structured and refined, with impressive length and coiled energy. Ever-expanding in the glass, this is a gorgeous, energetic and exuberant example of poise and clarity that should be a pleasure to follow in the cellar. It's a blend of 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 Malbec, 9 Carmenere and 6 Petit Verdot aged 18 months mainly in French barrique with some foudre. 2025-2042
- 97 Punkte Colin Hay: Seña 2022 (Valle del Aconcagua 60 Cabernet Sauvignon 25 Malbec 9 Carmenere 6 Petit Verdot aged in oak barrels, 70 of which are new, and foudres 13.5 alcohol tasted twice, the second time with Francisco Baettig over Zoom). Wild and herbal, spicy and quite meaty too, with a wild, dusty earthy streak to it. Impressively floral, more and more so as it inhales and relaxes in the glass, with lavender, thyme and violet, a hint of rose, maybe a suggestion of saffron. Blood orange. Blue and black fruit. The rose petal notes bloom with time and gentle aeration. Theres also lots of fresh bright peppery notes crushed green, rose and Szechuan peppercorns. Turmeric and cumin too. On the palate this is fresh, gracious, bright, lifted and very lithe and dynamic, above all in the luminous and crystalline mid-palate. Sinuous. Glistening and rippling on the finish. Almost gentle. Certainly one of the more delicate vintages of this wine that Ive tasted. Long. Fine-grained and ripe tannins aided but the slow and stable maturation, due to residual water presence. More structured on the finish than the 2021.
- 96 Punkte VINOUS, Joaquin Hidalgo: The 2022 Seña is a blend of 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 Malbec, 9 Carménère and 6 Petit Verdot, sourced from the Seña vineyard in Ocoa, Aconcagua Valley. Aged for 20 months, 85 in French oak barrels (66 new) and 15 in foudres, this garnet wine offers a garrigue-like aroma with notes of raspberry, blackberry and flowers over a deep cedar core. Dry and juicy on the palate, the grippy and plush tannins lead to a flavorful and balanced mouthfeel. Compared to other Seña vintages, the 2022 is more intense and nuanced. 2026-2038
- 94 Punkte JANE ANSON, Inside Bordeaux (072024): Liqourice, aniseed, fennel, cocoa bean, intense and powerful, reflecting a good quality vintage with low rainfall but few excess temperatures. Harvest August 5 to 23, 70 new oak barrels for ageing, along with 10 2,500l oak casks. Emily Faulconer winemaker, heading over from Vina Carmen. 2026-2040 ;
