Robert Parker (93)

Many professionals feel that Faiveley's finest wine is not their Chambertin-Clos de Beze, Mazis-Chambertin, or Clos de Vougeot, but their Corton-Clos des Cortons. It is often the most backward of their grands crus. The 1990 offers a nearly opaque purple color, a tight, but promising nose of blackcurrants, toasty new oak, oriental spices, and minerals. In the mouth, it is the most concentrated of all the Faiveley grands crus. Dense and rich, with a high level of soft tannins, this full-bodied, massively endowed wine needs at least 6-8 years of cellaring. It should keep for 20-25 years. It is one of the most impressive Cortons of the vintage.

Offers an enormous amount of fruit to back up the tannins, even though it's pretty hard on the palate.
