characterful and subtly sweetly-fruited flavors of arctic brambles and wizened cranberries
crisp and classic kaleidoscopic in its expression of minerality
vinification and aging are done on a micro-plot
making it lovely to drink now with the capability to age in the cellar for decades
and almost ageless quality
Chateau Nenin, Pomerol 1998 Syrah characterful and subtly sweetly-fruited flavorsInto Neck 92 Jeb Dunnuck The first vintage for the Dillon family, who purchased this estate in 1997, the 1998 Chteau Nenin is a sexy, ripe, fully mature Pomerol that delivers the goods. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of chocolatey dark fruits, spice box, and dried herb aromatics, full body, terrific density, and ample density and texture. Its not going to get any better but is terrific drink. 10 2018
