Burgundy-Report

    (Engel René Vosne-Romanée) Medium ruby-red. The nose right from opening is a bit of a star. Deep with a twist of oak before transparent red berry and redcurrant notes come through. Plenty of higher, slightly volatile notes too - but always quite compelling. The palate is just a little more challenging - very forward acidity, indeed borderline ‘too much acidity’, very, very linear presentation, still a little astringent tannin remains, but there’s also some bitterness in the finish. No sign of decline because this is exactly how the wine presented itself for the whole 3 hours before it was gone. A bit of a challenge this bottle, balanced by the lovely aromatics.

    (Engel René Vosne-Romanée) Medium red, with quite a dense core. The nose is sweetly red and faintly spicy. The palate is very fresh with a super core of fruit - but you need to wait a while in the glass - it's not so obvious at first. The longer it's in the glass the better it gets - one to wait another 3 or 4 years for.

    (Engel René Vosne-Romanée) Medium ruby colour fading very little to the rim. The nose is pure, characteristic Vosne, starting with a touch of undergrowth, deep spicy notes, a touch of black fruit and slowly developing, eventually dominating, raspberry. The palate is very fresh from the forward acidity, showing reasonably concentrated red cherry fruit - still quite primary. The tannins finish with a little unintrusive grain and the finish is quite good. Without showing real fat, the wine is still mouthfilling and obviously some way from maturity. I'll try the next in another couple of years - good wine.
