Ripe cherries and plums, eucalyptus, graphite and cedar on the nose. Clean and focused. Rich and silky palate following the nose, with a touch of freshness in the spicy Mid-plate. Nicely structured. The finish is deep, powerful and long but a touch of tannins linger at the end. Still youthful. Taste better the next day. Can keep for another 2-3 to reach maturity.
Retasted in Dec 2020. It is smooth, rich and rounded. Perfectly matured to drink now. Still deep and powerful in the mid-palate with good length on the finish. It should stay at its peak for the next few years.

Tough week, so needed a fine Pomerol wine to relax :-)
Stored up for one day ( sediment ) and decanted for 2.5 Hrs prior tasting. Just open the bottle, smell the aroma's and happiness will come to you. Taste is really full, buttery and keeps very long.
IMHO - Fugue de Nenin is an amazing wine price vs quality. Enjoy now or keep for a few more years cellared - quite some life left.

Wow .... opened and let it breathe for about one hour. Simply an amazing aroma from the glass and even more flavour when tasting. IMO a great second wine ( by Chateau Nenin ) with plenty of years left inside the bottle !!!

This wine definitely needs decanting for about 1 hours to release its optimal potential.
A great 2nd wine with still some years to go !
