The epitome of a great Pomerol, the 2005 Nenin is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc. A wonderfully savoury and perfumed red with beautiful balance and complex layers of tobacco, cedar and dried fruit character. We recommend decanting before enjoying this beautiful wine.
The 2005 Nénin has always been a wine that has never quite met my expectations. A blend of 26% Cabernet Franc and 74% Merlot, the bouquet seems rather subdued, stoic, buttoned-up. There are touches of brambly red fruit, sage and cedar, but it lacks the joie-de-vivre of subsequent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with rather chewy tannin, good acidity and moderate depth, but it feels foursquare and rather staid towards the finish. Simply put – this should have been better. Tasted at the château. - Neil Martin
