Chateau Senejac Haut-Medoc 2015

(Wine Advocate Score 87) One of our readers wrote to me and requested that I take another look at the 2015 Senejac. I'm always happy to relook at a wine, particularly if it is a wine that dramatically underperformed or overperformed in a tasting compared to its recent track record. So I purchased this bottle from a local, reputable merchant. In fact, it did appear to show significantly better than when I originally tasted it during a merchant tasting in Bordeaux, delivering a good intensity of black and red plum notes with hints of stewed tea, menthol and cassis plus an earthy undercurrent of underbrush and fungi. Medium-bodied, the palate offers plenty of juicy fruit with a chewy frame and a refreshing lift to the finish, making for a great everyday quaffing red!
