Note di degustazione
Pencil lead and charcoal notes are clear from the opening beats, with the tannins lending architecture and structure to the black fruits. This vintage showcases the serious style that has given Nenin the image of being a Left Bank-style Pomerol, with its mint leaf twist on the finish. As it relaxes into the glass, the tannins widen and soften, giving delicious forward momentum to the cassis and blackberry fruits. The new cellar opened in 2001, and the vines of Certan Giraud had been incorportated into the 1st wine of Nenin, with their excellent terroir on the Pomerol plateau. 35% new oak. Last year (in this vertical) with Michel Depoiziers as technical director

The 2001 Nenin is one that I have not tasted for several years. Lavender and potpourri scents feature on the nose, which is quite backward at first but opens in the glass, though it lacks the complexity of more recent vintages under Jean-Hubert Delon. The plummy palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and muscular tannins, and firm and solid toward the finish. This 2001 shows a touch more precision and a little more length. Drink now and over the next 6–10 years.
Pale and quite evolved. Gamey and yet quite light. Not trying very hard. Green tannins on the end. (JR)
Very rich, glossy nose. Meaty and lively – confident and bumptious. Pretty aggressive oaking but very good, ripe fruit underneath. Dry tannins on the finish. This may well get there but at the moment is pretty short on charm. (JR)
