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. Despite the precociousness of the Clos St.-Denis, it could benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring; it should last for 12-15 years. It exhibits a complex, sweet, earthy, berry, herb, and smoky nose, voluptuous, rich, chewy flavors, and a well-defined, dramatically long finish that reveals a moderate tannin level beneath the copious quantities of sweet fruit.
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.
Importers: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY, Chambers and Chambers, San Francisco, CA, and a handful of other importers who import Dujac's wines directly into their respective states.
