"Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Balanced and very refined. A wonderful purity and beauty."
James Suckling - jamessuckling.com
"The blend for the 2014 Sea was 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carmenere, 11% Malbec, 8% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot from their stony soils. The different grapes are carefully fermented separately and with different regimes of maceration and extraction but always looking for elegance within the natural power of the zone. The final blend was transferred to French oak barrels, 67% of them new (a percentage that seems to be slowly going down), for the levage of 22 months. This time, some 5% of the volume carried out its aging in new Stockinger foudres. This is very much in line with the 2013 and the direction set by that cool year. The wine is very harmonious, elegant within the house style. Another superb vintage of Sea. This should age effortlessly in bottle. 60,000 bottles were filled in March 2016."
