  Sweet fruited palate, again pure. A little simple but delicious.

  December 31, 2020 - There is a wide spread of reviews here, and I don't know if this is bottle to bottle variation or just different tastes. In any case, I may have been lucky - my only bottle and it was wonderful. Rich and deep with dark fruits, forest notes and a flavor that lingered long after you swallowed. Clos Vougeot can be so variable that it was great to have one this good.

  February 19, 2020 - The 2001 Rene Engel Clos Vougeot is close to full maturity, showing a rich profile of meaty fruits and nuanced Grand Cru core. My guess was 1997 Echezeaux. However, knowing the upside of a good bottle of Rene Engel, I know this was a slightly underwhelming Engel, it didn’t show the ethereal nose of a good bottle of Engel would. Fully mature with cooler vintage berries note. Maturing. 1997/ 1996? Echezeaux / Vosne Romanee? (89/100)

  October 9, 2019 - Very glad to have a chance to taste another wine from this great producer. This was full and rich but slightly closed in on itself. Textbook clos vougeot with an added punch of fruit and concentration.
