Vintage information 1990:

A majorly hyped vintage, reds particularly so. Not all have aged in-line with the hype, showing flabby and roast flavours coupled to 'dodgy' acidity. The best are superb, but they are not in the majority. Whites were less hyped, yet with good storage the average quality seems not far from that of the reds...

1990 Faiveley Joseph, Nuits St.Georges LavièresDec. 2002
Medium ruby colour, no obvious aging. Nose has forward red and black cherry notes plus some meatiness. Good acidity and still a firm though smooth tannic structure. Reasonably long too. Currently still a baby, I’m not sure if it will gain in complexity though. A very good wine.
