  • Still majestic. The nose is full of bright red fruit and sous bois. The palate has rich red fruit, minerals and earth. Terrific concentration and density.

  • Meaty nose, dark fruit, alcohol apparent, roses, earth. With air strawberries, licqorice, herbs. With more time the nose somehow rounds out and becomes more precise, a little more fresh and herbal at the same time.
    Medium weight, ripe and rich fruit, plenty of acidity to support. Again with air it acquires both more weight and more precision.
    This is a little alcoholic and ripe in the style of the vintage but it’s fabulously aromatic and absolutely delicious.

  • Stored in cool Whistler cellar less than 45 degrees F and part of a vertical tasting of Engel Clos Vougeot. Medium dark ruby with ripe Santina cherry nose. Palate reminiscent of a California Pinot but better acidity and larger than life earthy red fruits, a deliciously long finish and a hint of smoke. A fantastic showing and one of the most impressive 2003 red burgs ever broached. Wish I had three cases! Best now-2035.

  • A wonderful perfume of sweet red fruit and a hint of earth. The palate is delicate with notes of sous bois, earth, game and sweet red fruit. Definitely some power here too but I wouldn't describe this as overdone or overripe. This has evolved tremendously and has moved past any notion of jammy fruit that I've seen in earlier notes. Will keep but good now. One of the best 2003's I've had.

    (Engel Clos Vougeot) This was very '03. Big, sweet Pinot fruit and great mouthfeel but no depth. No hint of terroir. Pretty boring insipid stuff. I can see some people liking this very much.
