04: Tiefes Granat mit lila Schimmer. Verhaltenes, sehr schwer anzugehendes Bouquet; wirkt komplex und zeigt feine Butternoten. Im Gaumen warm, beerig mit einer gut integrierten Säure, feine Adstringenz, elegant und mit mittlerem Potential ausgezeichnet. 17/20 2006 – 2018

You have to like the chocolate and berry character in this young wine. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lovely, refined structure. Long and silky. Beauty. Best after 2008. ?JS

There have been major investments and improvements implemented at this estate by the Delon family, but the 2001 Nenin did not perform as well as I expected. It is pinched, tightly knit, and somewhat monolithic with surprisingly simple flavors. A deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of truffles, black cherries, cranberries, and currants. This blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc possesses medium body, moderately high tannin, and a short finish. I am sure there is more here, but the wine did not perform as well as I had hoped. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.

Château Nenin
Château Nenin stands as one of the grandest properties in Pomerol, lying on the outskirts of the Catusseau village. The property is home to 25 hectares of vineyards and a beautiful 19th century château. Since 1997, the estate has been owned by the Delon family of châteaux Léoville Las Cases and Potensac. The wine is a blend of mostly Merlot with smaller parts of Cabernet Franc (20%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%). Aged in 50% new oak barrels for 18 months, Nenin is a deep, fruit-forward red. The famed Michel Rolland also consults for the château.
