The backward, tannic 1991 Nuits St.-Georges-Les Damodes displays a broad, large-scaled structure, impressively deep color, and excellent density and richness. Although the nose is closed and the finish is austere and tannic, there is fine weight and ripeness. Give it at least 4-5 years of cellaring; it should keep for at least 15. Faiveley enjoyed success in 1991, producing deeply colored, powerful, noticeably tannic wines. These are not wines to consume early, but rather to cellar for several years while the tannins melt away. I do not foresee any difficulty with most of these wines drying out because of excessive tannin as they possess the concentration of fruit necessary to support the tannin. NOTES ON THE 1992s FROM BARREL: Faiveley's 1992s are not as rich or intense as the 1991s. They are made in a soft, accessible, fruity style that consumers will be able to enjoy immediately.
