JAMES SUCKLING: "This is from only the old vines in the clay and gravel soils on the plateau. Really fantastic. It's medium-to full-bodied and the tannins just roll off the palate at the end. Dark fruit and spices. So long. One of the best modern wines from here? 68% merlot and 32% cabernet franc."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 68% Merlot (harvested 8th to 16th September) and 32% Cabernet Franc (harvested 21st to 23rd September), the 2020 Nenin is aging in French oak barriques, 40% new. It has an alcohol of 14%, a pH of 3.65 and an IPT (tannin index) of 76. Deep purple-black in color, it glides effortlessly out of the glass with wonderfully pure notes of crushed blueberries, fresh blackberries and ripe red and black plums, plus suggestions of lavender, star anise and Ceylon tea with a waft of cast-iron pan. The medium-bodied palate is fantastically elegant and beautifully poised, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and bold freshness to support the perfumed red and black fruit layers, finishing long and mineral laced. A real head-turner!" - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Eine frische Mazerationsfrucht, Waldheidelbeere, Harz, etwas Schokolade, dann auch florale Töne. Im Mund mit einem passenden Maß an Geschmeidigkeit, feines Tanninkorn, makellos reif, mittelgewichtige Fruchtbegleitung bei eher dezenter Säure, saftiger Abklang. Gut extrahierter Gerbstoff, gute Länge." - Peter Moser
