Viña Seña 2020 Aconcagua Valley

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
97/100 punten
The 2020 Seña is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 7% Petit Verdot (a littlehigher in search of acidity) from grapes harvested early, the second week of March, and fermented mostly instainless steel and 10% in concrete eggs. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol and good freshness. It's subtle andlayered, not only fruit but with more spice; it has polished tannins and very integrated oak after 22 months inbarrique, 78% new, and with 10% of the volume in large Stockinger barrels. The warmer years seem to be nicelymanaged, so that it's not reflected in the ripeness but is more a matter of texture and quality of the tannins; in thewarmer years, like 2017 or this 2019, the wines have a little more grip, but these are definitely finer than thosefrom the 2017 vintage. This wine has intensity and complexity, with no mintiness or herbal notes; it's spicy andjuicy, with energy and depth. It has structure, color, stuffing and acidity to develop nicely in bottle. 100,000 bottlesproduced. It was bottled in February 2022.
