A delicious Pomerol that manages to combine the richness the appellation is famous for with a lovely freshness and vitality. I love the elegant tannins that makes this turn ever drier as it flows over the palate. Plenty of life at the bright finish. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019) - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, March 2019

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, with 11% pressed wine, delivering 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.68 and an IPT of 73, like the Fugue de Nenin, this is a little taciturn on the nose, demanding coaxing from the glass. Eventually, one finds notes of red cherries, boysenberry, wild hedgerow and a touch of iodine. The palate is full-bodied with rounded, quite toasty tannins, plush black fruits, boysenberry, a touch of pain grille and even some slight honeyed notes towards the finish. Ends up being quite an opulent Nenin, quite chewy on the finish though, where I am seeking some finesse. Tasted April 2010.

The grand vin, the 2009 Nenin, is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc with 14% natural alcohol. This wine is the product of Jean-Hubert Delon, the proprietor of Leoville-Las-Cases and the excellent northern Medoc estate of Potensac. The wine has closed down considerably since I saw it from barrel, with a Medoc-like, structured minerality and backwardness. The tannins have moved to the front, and the wine displays loads of raspberry and black cherry fruit with a hint of earth in addition to floral notes. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 15-20 years.

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc that achieved nearly 14% natural alcohol, the 2009 Nenin is the finest wine I have tasted since the estate was acquired by Jean-Hubert Delon (the family that also owns Leoville Las Cases). The full-bodied Nenin exhibits lots of cranberry and boysenberry fruit, a hefty, rich mouthfeel, and a fresh, lively, long, rich style. It can be drunk young or cellared for three decades. (Tasted once.) (91-93)

[80M20CF] Dense ripe black and blueberry fruit to smell; rich, elegant, fresh balance, a good concentration and very fine tannins; long, elegant and even in the mouth, a real Pomerol 'flesh' at last, a very fine caramel and vanilla backdrop to its characteristic slight sternness, and excellent aromatic length. Fine, complete Nenin, the best for a very long time. 2018-35
