- Seña 2021 has been released internationally for £1,344 per 12×75.

- The 2021 release comes at a 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 2021 has been released at €90 per bottle ex-négociant, up 5.9% on the 2020’s release price (€85 per bottle).
The wine is being offered internationally for £1,344 per 12×75 (€1,560 / HKD 13,800 / CHF 1,500 / $1,750), up 30.6% on the previous vintage’s opening price.
At this price, the new release is the most expensive of the last ten vintages of Seña. Given its high price point, the 2020, 2019, and 2018 vintages seem more attractive. See more pricing analysis below.

Jane Anson awarded the wine 95 points, noting the ‘unobtrusive tannins that build slowly but surely’ and adding that the wine ‘needs some time in the bottle before drinking’.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW (The Wine Independent) also scored today’s release 95 points. She said that ‘the medium-bodied palate is charged with energetic black fruits, with loads of savory accents and ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and refreshing’.
