1995 Nenin

The 1995 exhibits a healthy, medium dark ruby color, plenty of sweet, jammy cherry and plum-like fruit in the nose, medium body, low acidity, and a loosely-knit but attractively smooth texture and finish. It will require drinking within its first 5-7 years of life. This property has re-emerged in the last several years as proprietor Despujol has rebuilt the cellars and equipped them with modern stainless steel tanks. In addition, yields have been lowered and the percentage of new oak utilized has been increased. All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux.
