Critics Ratings

‘Mid garnet – still plenty of red in the colour. Very pretty nose of chalky dark-red fruit and something a little peppery/dusty. Melted, fine-boned tannins. I would fall on this in a restaurant for perfect current drinking though there's no hurry.’ – Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Feb 2019)

‘The 2014 Nenin has a simple, clean redcurrant and cranberry scented bouquet that feels a little anonymous, does not quite exude Pomerol. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, nicely balanced with red cherry, cranberry and raspberry laced with black pepper and sage. The finish feels cohesive and persistent. This is a fine Pomerol that should offer 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Feb 2018)

‘The 2014 Nenin was a bit of a whipcracker when I tasted it from barrel, so I was intrigued to find whether it would replicate that performance now in bottle. The bouquet is very well defined, perhaps more minerally and taut than previous vintages with truffle-tinged red berry fruit unfurling in the glass. There is also a potent tang of the sea (kelp or oyster shell perhaps). The palate is very well balanced, supple in the mouth, but it exerts a pleasant grip in the mouth and much more purity than vintages tasted over the 1990s and 2000s. This builds on that promise in barrel and is really quite a lovely Pomerol deserving of its newly designed label.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Mar 2017)

‘This a finely perfumed wine with its 32% Cabernet Franc, unusual for this estate. It gives a wine with great structure and concentration as well as layers of ripe black fruits. The wine needs to age so drink from 2023.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Apr 2017)

‘This has grip, with charcoal and dark earth notes running throughout. The ample flesh is balanced by bright acidity, allowing the core of plum, raspberry and cherry preserve flavors to hold the upper hand through the finish. Best from 2020 through 2032.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Mar 2017)

‘Owned by Léoville-Las Cases and produced in the same vein. Layered fruit. Touch of Merlot sweetness. Firm, tight structure. Reticent and austere but will definitely age.’ – James Lawther MW, Decanter.com, 90/100 (Apr 2015)
