Nuits St Georges Les Damodes Faiveley 2016 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous: "Dark red-ruby. Tight aromas of black cherry, lavender, spices and licorice, plus a suggestion of bloody steak. A very pure, intense, fine-grained midweight with serious sappiness and minerality, not to mention strong acidity for Nuits-Saint-Georges. Finishes fresh and stony, with surprisingly suave tannins. An excellent showing, even if this wine will require more aging than the Chaignots." 11/17

90-93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "An attractively layered and bright nose offers up notes of various dark berries, plenty of earth, spice and a touch of the sauvage. There is first-rate punch to the sleekly muscular and mineral-driven middle weight plus flavors that are quite firm if somewhat less strict though there is evident youthful austerity. This is also constructed to reward mid to longer-term cellaring and it's going to require at least 6 to 8 years first." 01/18

90 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "Extremely dense dark red and purple colour. Smoky, inky, succulent, quite ripe for this altitude. Almost some chocolate notes on top of the core red fruit which is less dense." 2016
