  René Engel: Showing very good vintage fruit quality but a bit darker/more purple and shyer than others. Stands out stylistically as different. 94

  Rene Engel Dinner (Benoit Bistro, Manhattan): Delicious red fruits. More rustic than some of the other examples. Very drinkable, but the acid is showing a touch more pronounced than I might have expected.

  Drunk over 2 nights.Opened 1 hour beforehand with 30 mins in the glass.Whilst there was a flowery bouquet the wine was not nearly ready.The wine opened up on day 2 but still somewhat closed.Some fruit but still backward; elegant nonetheless.I think this wine needs at least another 5 years of cellaring.Nonetheless an enjoyable drink which could be so much better.

  Stored in cool Whistler cellar less than 45 degrees F and part of a vertical tasting of Engel Clos Vougeot. Medium ruby with sweet Alpine strawberry nose. Impressive Montmorency cherry palate with a freshly harvested cranberry finish. Fabulously complex and needs time. These Engel Clos Vougeot’s are delicious mid-term and built for the long haul. Best 2030-2050.

  Perfume and dark berry aromatics. Impeccably balanced, focused and complex. Lots of chew. One of the few Vougeots that I like - archetypal Engel.
