This is a powerful and structured red with currants, minerals and blackberries. Full and very silky plus has firm tannins and a chewy finish. Stoney. Needs another three years to soften. A beauty.

The 2009 Sena has an exuberant bouquet of blackberry, boysenberry, menthol, crushed stone and graphite that is extremely well defined and more feminine than the 2008. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, taut tannins and superb focus. It has a focused, leafy, tobacco infused finish and great length. Excellent. Drink 2014-2020.

Vivid ruby. High-pitched aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with spice and floral accents and a touch of vanilla. Zesty, focuse red fruit flavors gain heft and sweetness with air. Shows very good energy and purity on the long, spicy, nicely delineated finish. I'll bet that this finely tuned wine will reward a decade in the cellar.
