Chateau Nenin Pomerol 2014

James Suckling

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. Duftmæssigt bestemt anderledes end de forrige, for her er frugten mere sorte kirsebær og brombær, mens der vitterlig er meget træ i form af cigarkasser og cedertræ. Der er også en del frugtsødme og så ellers engelsk lakrids, lakridsrod, kul, jord, lidt jod og tjæreagtig mineralitet. Smagen er præget af en smule tydeligere bitterhed, godt med sort te, medium krop samt en anelse parfumeret. Der er sammen med en tydelig bitterhed også friskhed og syrlighed i frugten, som dermed så fremstår lidt anderledes end i duften. Tanninerne er tynde, fine samt spinkle, men giver vinen et fint og elegant udtryk. 93 point

La Revue du Vin de France

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.
