  René Engel: Consistent with the 02 Vougeot this shows tougher and perhaps more whole fruit, but certainly less yielding than other bottles. Focus on spice in this terroir, heat and rose, so clearly Vosne. 93-94

  Rene Engel Dinner (Benoit Bistro, Manhattan): A stunning wine of both elegance and power. Lovely red fruits with a beautiful clarity and levirty to the wine. Tannins are integrated and yet the wine has a fantastic underlying structure. Beautiful and contender for WOTN.

  8/12, excellent cork.
  Pale garnet/mahogany core, wide very pale rim. Nose is singing as usual - aromatic, sweet red fruit, florals, game, soil. Medium bodied, sweet strawberry fruit on initial attack, then game, spice, soft tannins, vibrant acids carry a long, spciy, gamey finish. Outstanding, continues to drink well. Fully mature but don't see any need to hurry either.

  Very flowery and perfumed with red fruit. Alluring sweetness on the palate but notably light for a 02. A pretty Vosne.

  My last bottle sadly. Very enjoyable. Strawberry herbs and spices with nicely balanced tannins and acidity. Such a lovely wine. However I don’t think it justifies the rediculous price you need to pay for the experience now.
  Can’t see it lasting much longer before declining.
