Revealing cigar, spice, and blackberry aromas, the 2001 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Damodes has outstanding depth, concentration, and length. Its medium-bodied personality exhibits loads of dark fruits, some tangy currants, and spicy tobacco flavors. This wine is lively and expressive, but its tannin is edgy, which prevented a higher score. Projected maturity: now-2010. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
