Nenin 1998 750ml

Château Nenin is a historic Pomerol estate acquired in 1997 by the Delon family of Léoville Las Cases, who launched an ambitious program of investment in the vineyard and cellar. The 1998, one of their first vintages, came from a superb year for Pomerol's Merlot-dominated wines. Wine Advocate called it "the finest Nenin in many decades," citing coffee, caramel, vanilla, plum and black cherry jam with an unctuous texture and a silky, seamless finish. Wine Spectator added crushed blackberries and smoked meat over velvety tannins. Now fully mature after more than 25 years, it is ideal for drinking now, with savory, earthy complexity.
