Jayer's Nuits St.-Georges-Les Damodes is usually a magnificent wine, and the 1990 is another stunning success. The nearly black color is followed by a nose with aromas of sur-maturite in the pruny, black-cherry scents intertwined with copious quantities of toasty new oak and roasted meats. In the mouth, the wine exhibits great extraction of flavor, full body, and a sweet, rich, viscous finish. The significant tannins are balanced by the wine's awesome concentration. Drink it between 1995-2010 . One of the stars of Burgundy, Robert Jayer has begun the decade of the nineties with what appear to be the finest wines he has ever made. No one makes better Hautes Cotes de Nuits and Cote de Nuits-Villages than Jayer. As the numbers attest, these are thrilling, even amazing wines. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC.
