James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive score of 98, noting its "beautiful aromas of crushed berries, currants, walnuts, allspice and nutmeg." He describes the wine as having a "full body with tight, ultra fine tannins that provide length and intensity," capped with a finish of "slightly dried cherries with wet earth, slate and stone." Suckling concludes that it is "a wine with soul and length" and advises to "give it time" by drinking it after 2025 (jamessuckling.com, 8/2/2021).

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also gave the 2019 Sena a score of 98. The review highlights the wine's composition and production process, including fermentation in stainless steel and concrete vats, followed by 22 months of maturation in French oak barrels (80% new) and Stockinger vats. The review praises the wine's "good acidity and freshness," describing it as "medium-bodied, elegant and balanced." It also mentions "floral aromas, notes of orange peel, a touch of creamy sweet spices and great freshness" (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 8/31/2021).

Vinous gave the wine a score of 96, noting the unique climatic conditions of the vintage—a warm spring followed by a cool summer. Joaquin Hidalgo describes the wine as "purple in the glass" with "notes of plum with hints of blackberry and expressive layers of mint and herb." He remarks on the "firm tannins" that are "refined and a little compact," suggesting that it is "a delicate wine that will improve in the bottle" (Vinous, 8/1/2022).

Decanter also rated the wine 96, emphasizing its significance as the 25th anniversary bottling of Seña. The review highlights the wine's "rich, heady and intense" nose and "layered and so moreish" palate. The wine is described as "bold and powerful but wrapped up in velvet tannins," featuring "raspberry and blueberry fruit, coffee beans and a hint of salinity" (Decanter, 7/20/2021).

Wine Spectator gives the wine a score of 93, describing it as boasting "vibrant red cherry and berry flavors, which are well-knit and bear a minerally richness." The review notes a "juicy finish" with "accents of dried green herbs" supported by "engaging tannins," recommending it to be consumed now through 2024 (Wine Spectator, 2/23/2022).

Overall, the 2019 Sena Red Table Wine is widely praised for its elegance, complexity, and potential for aging, making it a standout vintage from Chile's Aconcagua Valley.
