Vinous (Neal Martin) 93 pts! The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru has a more earthy bouquet than its peers, well-defined but needing more coaxing from the glass. Touches of potpourri and rose petal emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple but firm tannins, revealing layers of black cherry, black currant and cranberry fruit laced with white pepper and Chinese five-spice. Quite linear toward the finish. This is a fine Nuits Saint-Georges that should age well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. (Drink between 2023 - 2044)
Jasper Morris 93 pts! Fresh purple, clean, good purity in the bouquet, there is more and more to this as the wine evolves in the glass. Lovely intensity, purity and poise, a good acid balance and fair persistence.
