Seña Valle de Aconcagua 2021

Toasted spices, dried herbs, with the red fruits, violet, black olives and cola of Malbec. Delivers tension and freshness, great balance, with weight and concentration through the mid palate, climbing upwards to a juicy finish. Cooler than average vintage of Sena, and an unusual one, with a harvest spread from late March with the Carmanère right until early May for the Petit Verdot (the last time they went this late would have been the 2016 vintage). Unobtrusive tannins that build slowly but surely, needs some time in the bottle before drinking. 70% new oak, 10% 2,500 litres oak casks. Francisco Baettig winemaker.
