Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2023 Fugue de Nénin is potent, explosive second wine. A burst of dark fruit, violet, chocolate, spice and leather announces a wine that packs a serious punch. Today, the young 2023 is quite exuberant and dense, almost shockingly so for a second label.

A fresh and linear character with crunchy fruit and intensity. Medium-bodied and crisp. The texture and purity of fruit is excellent for a second wine.

The 2023 Fugue de Nenin is charming and delicate, offering up notes of raspberries and petals followed by a medium-bodied, supple and succulent palate.
