- Seña 2022 has been released internationally for £1,120 per 12×75.
- The wine has a score of 97 points from The Wine Advocate’s Matthew Luczy
- The 2022 release comes at a significant premium to others on the market, but there is value to be found among back vintages.
As part of La Place de Bordeaux’s Autumn Releases campaign, Seña 2022 has been released at €90 per bottle ex-négociant, flat on the 2021’s release price.
The wine is being offered internationally at £1,120, also flat on last year. Since its initial release, the 2021’s Market Price has fallen by 18.8% and now sits at £909. (N.B. While the correct prices were listed, in the initial print this drop was erroneously calculated as 32.3%)
At this price, the new release is the most expensive of the last ten vintages of Seña. Given its high price point, the 2019 and 2018 vintages seem more attractive. See more pricing analysis below.
