Clos de la Roche--Vintage 1990
Côte de Nuits, Dujac
"Seysses's three best efforts in 1990, a vintage where his yields were only 35 hectoliters per hectare, include a soft, profound Clos St.-Denis, a full-bodied, tannic, muscular, dark-colored, sweet, superbly extracted Clos de la Roche, and the richest, most age-worthy wine of all, the Bonnes Mares. Unquestionably, the Clos de la Roche is darker in color, bigger-framed, and fuller-bodied than the Clos St. Denis. The nectar, honey-like texture of the 1990 vintage is well-displayed. The wine is superbly concentrated, with a huge fragrance, and long, moderately tannic, sweet flavors.
Jacques Seysses is immensely proud of his 1990s, proclaiming them the finest wines he has made since 1978. He said the same thing about his 1985s, but I agree that the 1990s appear to have greater potential for longevity." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #83 (Oct 1992)
