Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red in color. Sweet and warm, though without a lot of fruited aromatic focus. Concentrated, tangy, and bright, though somewhat dry-fruited, lacking some upholstery and freshness as well as texture. That’s to be picky, as we must be in 2016; on the plus side, the concentration and dash of the wine is impressive, and it will be much enjoyed. | 87

Michael Schuster | Lightly gravelly, persistent nose; elegant midweight wine, fresh and very fine in tannin; sweetly ripe, gently minerally, freshly defined, supple, harmonious, with a good length of flavor and lovely light persistence. Stylish, restrained Sénéjac. Now to 2030+. | 89
