Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
From sandier soils, the 2019 Fugue de Nenin is softer and suppler than the grand vin, offering up aromas of rich cherry and berry fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, melting and enveloping palate. It's an attractive Pomerol that is drinking well out of the gates.

The 2019 Fugue de Nenin comes from the 15 hectares on sandier terroir. Matured in 30% new oak, it has a straightforward dark cherry, raspberry and slightly figgy bouquet that gains intensity in the glass. The palate is rounded and supple on the entry and very smooth in texture, offering dark berry fruit mixed with black pepper and spice toward the long finish. This is a fine, quite voluptuous Fugue.

A soft, round wine with a creamy texture, showing berries with some chocolate and tile. It’s medium-bodied with a juicy, savory and cedary finish. Second wine of Nenin with 88% merlot. Hard not to drink now. Drink or hold.
