Château Nenin 2022 Pomerol

Falstaff
95/100 punten
Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, delicate rim brightening. Delicate red cherry fruit, hints of liquorice, nuances of cloves and orange zest. Juicy, elegant, ripe cherries, quite powerful, chocolaty, mineral-salty on the finish, long lasting, fine toasty aromas on the finish, already very well developed.

A juicy and crunchy red with blackberry, chocolate, hazelnut. Mocha. Full to medium body with a creamy texture. Lots going on here. 64% merlot and 36% cabernet franc.

A blend of 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Nenin delivers aromas of cherries, violets, sweet berries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate that's rich, succulent and seamless, its ample core of fruit largely concealing its sweet, powdery tannins.

A blend of 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Nenin is deep garnet-purple in color. It skips out of the glass with bright, vivacious notes of kirsch, black cherry compote, and juicy plums, plus touches of garrigue, star anise, and Sichuan pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and soft spoken, with layers of fragrant black fruit and a long spicy finish.

With a dark hue, the wine pops with its plum, chocolate, flowers, and black raspberry profile. The wine is lush, rich, ripe, and dark, with black, red, and blue fruit, coffee bean, chocolate and spice. The wine is rich, full, concentrated, and long, with a sweetness and depth of flavor in the cherry-filled finish. The wine blends 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc.14.28% ABV.

Intensely fragrant and floral, ripe fruit with milk chocolate, vanilla, caramel, roses, violets and strawberries. Juicy and slender, this is sleek and beautifully supple on the palate, moving with grace and depth but not heavy or too rich. There’s an intensity to the fruit flavours though, with hints of liquorice, clove and cedar, not a light easy wine, there’s power and concentration but so well delivered with balanced acidity. Long finish with lingering clarity. 3.69pH. 65IPT. A yield of 33hl/ha.

Ripe black cherries, red plums, spice, dried herbs, and chocolate all emerge from the 2022 Château Nenin, an incredibly ripe, sexy, full-bodied Pomerol revealing a broad, opulent mid-palate and velvety tannins. Based on 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Franc, this is another concentrated, inky-hued, powerful 2022 that's going to demand bottle age.
