1978 Chateau Nenin - Pomerol
My Sunday luncheon usually demands a decently mature wine and today was no exception. Popped and poured from a pristine bottle, the cork came out cleanly in one piece using my trusty Durand. A deep plum red with a light red rim. The nose is an exciting mix of fine forest floor, dried flowers, raspberry jam and a hint of wooden barrel. The velvet mouthfeel is slightly sweet on entry, then settles down into a gentle savoury stroll. The palate is fresh and and fine, and perfectly mature. A lovely old school wine which paired well with lunch.
