Tasting Notes

The finest vintage since 2000, the 2006 Nenin comes across as a classic Pomerol with lush kirsch liqueur, mocha, mineral, and floral characteristics. Made in a muscular, rich, full-bodied style with moderate tannins as well as impeccable purity, texture, and length, it should drink well between 2012-2025. Owned by Jean-Hubert Delon, of the renowned St.-Julien estate of Leoville Las Cases, Nenin is situated adjacent to the city of Libourne.

Bright crushed berry, chocolate and licorice aromas follow through to a full body, with ultrarefined tannins and a long, polished finish. There’s a lovely texture to this wine. Best after 2013.—J.S.

Shows pretty soft tannins, with ripe fruit. Full, round and fruity on the finish. Balanced and refined.

Score: 89 - 91

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2007

Mid crimson. Introvert nose with some complexity. Round and mellifluous - again the tannins are of a quite different quality from most Pomerols. Very supple. Nice freshness - much livelier than many earlier vintages of Nénin with real lift and souplesse. Congratulations! Very grown up. Briary but interesting and round and potentially long lived, I think.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2013-2020 17 April 2007

Owned since 1997 by the Delons of Leoville Lascases. 76% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc. Subdued aromas of ripe plums and cocoa. Mediumweight but with quite impressive density and refined tannins. Good, respectable Pomerol.

Score: 89 - 91
