Deep red. Aromatic nose combines plum, truffle, iron and mint. Supple and broad in the mouth, with slightly medicinal black and blue fruit flavors complicated by smoke, meat and black olive. Plump and soft for this wine, but with solid tannic support. A good showing.

Pomerol is a mixed bag in 2003 as its sandy/gravelly soils were adversely impacted by the heat and drought in June, July and August. I was surprised by how well Nenin’s 2003 performed. It exhibits a dark plum color as well as attractive notes of figs, jammy black cherries and mulberries, and an elegant, medium-bodied, pure, soft, fully mature style. Consume it over the next 4-5 years.
