Mocha, blood orange, creamy ripe damson and black fruits, a swirl of peony flowers, succulent but without being heavy, this is a great Nenin, showing potential of the property`s 20 year old Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, used in the blend for the first time in this vintage. 40% new oak for ageing, 46hl/h yield, 3.68ph. Pomerol estate owned by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases. 94 points

The 2023 Nenin is a classy wine that marries power with nuance. Cabernet Franc plays a prominent role here, and that comes through in its aromatic presence and overall feel. There`s also a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, which no doubt contributes to the wine`s profile as well. Rose petal, mocha, spice, licorice, leather and cedar are all laced together in this powerhouse Pomerol. I can`t wait to see where this goes. 92-94 points

The 2023 Nenin is very attractive, bursting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, dark berries, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple palate that`s pure and sensual, with a succulent core of fruit, sweet tannin and an immensely charming profile that promises a broad drinking window. 93-94 points

The 2023 Nenin was picked September 9 to 28 at 46hL/ha and matured in 40% new oak for a planned 16 months, including 7% vin de presse. It is the first vintage including 3% Cabernet Sauvignon from a parcel located near Trotanoy. There is quite an attractive marine/sea spray element in the aromatics that lends freshness, certainly elevating it above the Fugue. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and fine acidity, quite saline in the mouth with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper on the finish. 90-92 points
