Nenin - Pomerol 2005 (Ex-Chateau)

If it's not a terribly well-structured Port by Noval's standards

Here the nose is also discreet and brooding with incredible aromatic breadth that includes similar violet notes but the fruit profile is more black and red than blue plus a kaleidoscopic array of spice elements

Relatively heavy reduction renders the nose unreadable

It was the extraordinary 1950 Petrus

yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry

The nose explodes from the glass

suggesting crustacean shell reductions

but loads of structure and minerality

This is a beauty

voluptuously-textured mouthful of exceptionally extracted port

weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the firm tannic spine on the strikingly long finish

This dry medium-gold colored Yoichi Single Malt Whisky 10 year is powerful
