I was immensely impressed by the quality of the 2021 Nenin, a wine that's the fruit of an immensely strict selection—and several consecutive nights of frost protection. Offering up aromas of sweet plums, wild berries, raw cocoa, black truffles and nicely integrated new oak, it's a medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety wine with lively acids, melting tannins and a layered, concentrated profile with a long, penetrating finish. Tasted twice.

The 2021 Nenin is a decided overperformer, bursting from the glass with notes of dark berries, plums and cherries, complemented by exotic top notes of rose petals, violets, Indian spices and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and velvety, it's lively and polished, with a layered core of fruit and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2021 Nénin has an open bouquet with redcurrant and raspberry fruit, a hint of wilted iris flower and a light marine influence. The oak is nicely integrated, though it is not as complex as other vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. Just a light touch of white pepper lends a little more complexity to what feels like a "solid" finish. This is maybe missing the finesse of its peers, but there is commendable length. Fine.

Very fine tannins with a medium body and a fresh center-palate. Hints of spices and dried lemon peel. Bright and focused. Pretty fruit. Refined.

This has aromas and flavors of dark fruit, bark, chocolate, cedar and mushrooms. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a fleshy texture around the chewy and polished tannins. Needs time to soften, as it’s a little austere now. Best after 2026.
