The 1991 Nuits St.-Georges-Les St.-Georges is a classic example of this vineyard. The dark ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of anise, black fruits, new oak, and flowers. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and moderately tannic, with superb depth, this is an impressively endowed, broad-shouldered wine for drinking between 1996-2008.
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.
