...black olives, wet earth, violets and dark fruit. Full-bodied...silky-textured with fabulous texture. Stones and dark berries. So serious and real.
Lush and ripe...good, juicy energy that allows the plum sauce, raspberry pâte de fruit and cherry compote flavors to be vibrant and engaging, backed by red licorice and singed vanilla details on the straight-backed finish. `
Notes of ripe plums, black cherries, freshly laid asphalt and scorched earth dominate the bouquet...offers a beautifully ripe, medium to full-bodied personality, bright acidity, and sweet tannin...
...precise and elegant bouquet...palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin...very well balanced... There is an attractive sappiness towards the finish that lingers nicely in the mouth.
...perfumed red currant and wild strawberry scented bouquet laced with tar and cedar, quite pure and delineated...palate is medium-bodied...fine bead of acidity, plenty of graphite-tinged black fruit with a spicy and rather persistent finish. Excellent.
"Since being resurrected (in '98) under the ownership of the Delon family (Leoville Las Cases), Nenin is quickly surging to the forefront of Pomerols...producing wines that are rich and generous."-Robert M. Parker, Jr.
