Decanting recommended. Solid but perhaps slightly unexceptional. Red and black cherry. Plum. Tomato leaf. Graphite. Ok acidity. Smooth tannins. Perhaps lacking a tiny bit of structure.

Ullo filter, 2 hour decant. Truffles/mushroom, earth, hint of barnyard, dark fruit on the nose. Bountiful/explosive red/dark fruit on the palate. Graphite and spice. Full bodied with medium tannins. Opulent/sensuous texture. Medium finish. Lovely wine to share with those that you love intimately. The Bordeaux with which babies are conceived.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Showing black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, herbs, tobacco, graphite, dark coffee and dark chocolates. Medium minus in length on the finish, with grippy tannins and tangy raspberries. This 7 year old Merlot blend from Bordeaux is showing nice complexity now, although still very young. I gave it 2 hours of airtime, but it was clearly not enough. Robert Parker 93 points. Still …

Opened up well after a few hours. A serious wine with lots of character. Will get even better With age. Enjoyed with Xmas dinner of roasted quails

This has already matured very well. Gave it time to open up and it was rich, round and vibrant.

Aromas full of crushed blackberries and blueberries with fresh mushrooms and sandalwood. Full-bodied, very tight and focused with fabulous density of fruit

Very good. Rich and fulfilling. Tasted it on the boat, so perhaps not the most best environment for serious tasting notes.

Il n'était pas prévu d'ouvrir de nouveau Nenin 2016... Ouvert et dégusté cette fois-ci et j'ai préféré cette option au passage en carafe qui avait eu tendance à "durcir" le vin. Robe rouge foncé tirant sur le violet, arômes de cassis, de chocolat au lait et un joli parfum très légèrement épicé sortent du verre. La bouche est plus retenue mais on a ce ressenti crémeux, soyeux en milieu de bouche, puis une touche d'acidité et de minéralité en fin …

(GG Tasting 1 Glass) - Tight, earthy, licorice vegetal with a long finish. Traditional in style - needs time. A touch coarse (?)

J’avais envie de goûter une de mes bouteilles achetées en primeur. Couleur prune presque noire. Ouvert puis passé en carafe durant 1 heure. Les arômes de cassis commencent à se livrer, puis épices, fleurs, violettes mais aucune senteur de truffes. En bouche, il y a un gros mur de tanins (mûrs ;) mais on perçoit une belle complexité sous-jacente, de l’équilibre, de la finesse, une touche d’acidité, voire une légère astringence. La seule chose qui manque à ce stade c’est …

Already showing a bit of truffle, the wine offers ripe plums and licorice in the nose and on the palate. Most of the oak has been completely integrated into the wine. Round, smooth, curvy and full bodied, you experience a delicious blast of juicy red fruits and spice on the palate and finish. The wine was made from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

This is easily the best vintage of Nenin produced in modern times. The wine is vibrant, soft, fresh and filled with ripe, earthy, sweet, mocha filled plums and black cherries topped with truffles.

Earthy, dark cherries, plum and licorice in the nose and on the palate, the wine is smooth and curvy, medium/full bodied with freshness and length. You’ll find juicy black and dark red plums with spice on the back end. The wine was made from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc and reached 14.47%.

Gut erhaltene Flasche, into neck, wenn auch Korken weitgehend durch. Eindrucksvolle, supersanfte, duftige, schmeichlerische und komplexe Nase: noch gute Frucht, Noten nach Backpflaumen, Rosmarin, Zigarrenkiste, Tee sowie einige florale Noten. Im Mund mittleres Volumen mit angenehmer, guter Säure, Kirschnoten, sanfte Tannine und gute Länge. Nur ein beginnendes "Loch" in der Mitte entfernt diesen Wein von der Perfektion. Ex-Icono, offen.
