Pnp and drank over 2h at home. Another great 1986 Bdx that is holding up strongly. Clear garnet with slight browning towards a transparent rim. Some herbs on the nose, soft dark fruit, does not have the excessive soft- and sweetness of an old Bdx and some leather appears only with extended air, tannins fully integrated but the wine is still well delineated. Medium (-) finish. Excellent match with steak at home and later on just as good also on its own. At the end of its peak drinking window for sure but great value - have my strong doubts you can find a better Nenin in the 80s / 90s (and 2000s?)

Sweet, evolved, some seet capsicum hiding in the back, spice and herbs over a velvety sweet body. Not particularely long, but exceedingly easy to enjoy.

This has left its drinking window. Some herbs but not much else.
