Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The 1982 was produced during a difficult period for Nenin (the wines are significantly better now), and the result is a light-bodied, soft, diluted wine that is already displaying signs of cracking up and drying out. The light to medium ruby color possesses considerable amber. The nose offers old, musty cellar aromas followed by a coarse, light-bodied wine with little depth. Drink it up. Tasted 5 times since bottling with consistent notes.
About the Producer
A terroir in the very heart of the Pomerol appellation... Chateau Nénin is one of the most beautiful estates in the appellation. The Grand Vin du Château Nénin is produced on the 8 hectares of the best clay and gravel parcels of the famous Pomerol Plateau. As soon as he bought the estate in 1997, Jean-Hubert Delon immediately undertook major work. Aware of the extraordinary potential of this estate, the vineyard was extensively restructured with new parcels planted with massale selection of the Cabernet Francs from the Léoville Las Cases enclosure. The production equipment have been completely rethought, extended and developed in order to produce the best wines out of the splendid grapes born on this exceptional terroir.
