Incredible perfumes of flowers, berries and cherries. Ethereal. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and super length. The evolution in this in barrel has been wonderful. Only the best plots with old vines were used here — so one-third of the production of the site. Drink in 2021, even if this is already gorgeous.

The nose is elegant and offers notes of crunchy fruits. The palate is fruity, juicy, elegant, precise, mineral, beautifully fresh, well built and offers a beautiful tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fresh fruit, blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry associated with slight notes of strawberry, plum flesh as well as touches of cocoa, oak and pepper on the finish. Good length. Great success!

Back to signature Nenin after the lighter 2013 vintage, with graphite and pencil lead, rich back cherry and blackberry fruits, laced with black chocolate and black truffle. This needs more time, you can feel the tannins closing in on the finish suggesting they need a few more years to fully soften up. 35% new oak.

Dark purple red with violet hue. Elegant nose with hints of dark berries, vanilla, cloves and cardamom, floral notes in the background. On the palate well structured with good weight and length, elegant finish with fine tannins

5,5 Thumbs Up. Doftmässigt bestämt annorlunda än de föregående, för här är frukten mer åt svarta körsbär och björnbär, medan det verkligen finns mycket trä i form av cigarrlådor och cederträ. Det finns också en hel del fruktsötma och dessutom engelsk lakrits, lakritsrot, kol, jord, lite jod och tjäraktig mineralitet. Smaken präglas av en något tydligare bitterhet, gott om svart te, medelfyllig kropp samt en aning parfymerad. Tillsammans med en tydlig bitterhet finns också friskhet och syra i frukten, som därmed framstår som något annorlunda än i doften. Tanninerna är tunna, fina och spensliga, men ger vinet ett fint och elegant uttryck. 93 poäng

The aging has conferred more volume and depth to the Nénin 2014. The wine presents an intense profile, fruity and full of freshness. Its finish is lively and delicious.
