Chateau Nenin, Pomerol 1998 California This was the best way

This was the best way to contend with complicated French inheritance laws and keep the estate whole

Deep ruby in color with slight bricking at the edges

I really liked it back then too

The 2015 Esprit de Tablas is still youthfully coiled

This red balances toasted spice and mesquite notes with the macerated cherry fruit character

Chateau Nenin, Pomerol 1998 California This was the best wayInto Neck 92 Jeb Dunnuck The first vintage for the Dillon family, who purchased this estate in 1997, the 1998 Chteau Nenin is a sexy, ripe, fully mature Pomerol that delivers the goods. Made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it offers lots of chocolatey dark fruits, spice box, and dried herb aromatics, full body, terrific density, and ample density and texture. Its not going to get any better but is terrific drink. 10 2018
