2000 Château Sénéjac - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Haut-Médoc (1/26/2022)
– decanted immediately before initial taste –
– tasted non-blind over approx. 2.5 hours –
NOSE: Pencil shavings; aged red fruits; at times a light oxidized character peaks-through, too.
BODY: garnet color with bricking throughout; color is of medium-deep to deep depth; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: tastes clearly of aged Bdx.; medium-strong aged Bdx. funk; a touch dry; little hit of pyrazine; purple-fruited, for the most part, with occasional dalliances with the red-fruited portion of the spectrum; crayon wax; high acidity; hint of cocoa powder. Consistent across two bottles. Drink Now and over the near term.
