Stunning aromas of blackcurrant, stone, blueberry and licorice. Also iodine. Floral. Perfumed. Full body, fantastic density of fruit and ripe tannins. It goes on for minutes on the palate with such energy and focus. Touch of chewiness on the finish. A complex and complete wine that delivers a generosity with firmness. Drink in 2021 but already a classic to drink.

As a comparison to the 2014 vintage of this wine, the 2015 Seña resulted in 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Carmenere, 12% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, with now 12% of the wine matured in new Stockinger oak foudres and the rest in barrique for some 22 months. 2015 might have been a slightly warmer year, but the resulting wine is lower in alcohol and higher in acidity, which provide for a more vibrant mouthfeel and a more focused expression of the character of the place. This vintage has half a degree less alcohol, and the acidity is a little more pungent; and, the amount of wine in foudre seems to help the oak to show better integrated. This is dry, nicely textured, and the replacement of the Merlot by Malbec seems to have also added to the refinement of the tannins that are super-elegant. 66,000 bottles were filled in February 2017. The price has not yet been set.

Chadwick Eduardo
L’une des figures emblématiques de l’univers vineux du Chili, Eduardo Chadwick s’est associé au célèbre producteur californien Robert Mondavi pour créer le premier vin icône chilien : Seña. Son premier millésime en 1995, mis sur le marché en 1997, couronnait une démarche commune visant à produire le plus grand vin rouge du pays. Cette initiative novatrice a fait bien des émules depuis. D’une superficie de 350 hectares, dont 42 plantés en vignes, la propriété s’étend sur les contours vallonnés de l’Aconcagua où sont employées des pratiques biologiques et biodynamiques. L’assemblage diffère d’un millésime à l’autre, mais le plus souvent il se compose de 50% de cabernet-sauvignon, complété de teneurs variables de carménère, malbec, merlot, cabernet franc et petit verdot. Les raisins sont fermentés en cuves inox thermo-régulées, le vin étant ensuite élevé pendant 22 mois en barriques de chêne français neuf. Apprécié des oenophiles et des critiques, Seña s’impose indéniablement comme l’étoile montante du Chili.
