1999 Domaine René Engel Clos Vougeot
Community Tasting Note
western Likes this wine:
92 Points
Monday, October 6, 2014 - Very light garnet color. Reached its peak, fruit starting to fade and acidity and tannins becoming a little more intrusive. Still has a gorgeous mature Burgundian nose with all the developed flavors one would expect. Very good GC from a great vigneron, alas who can afford Domain Eugenie!!!
