Stored in cool Whistler cellar less than 45 degrees F and part of a vertical tasting of Engel Clos Vougeot. Tayberry nose with tight dried cranberry palate and a subtle trailing whiff of exotic spices on the lengthy finish. Classic balanced 93 and will age well.. Best 2035-2050.

French Wine Dinner with Old Friends-Trimbach, Engel, Chave... (Hillside Supper Club, San Francisco): Light red with mature edge. Seductive, complex aromas of soft red fruits, soil, gentle herbs, and a bit of black pepper. Beautiful medium weight, silky feel, firm acidity, and subtle sweetness of fruit. With air, cinnamon and a whiff of blood orange. Not a powerful wine but intricate and full of interest, not to mention that it is a monument to a producer that no longer exists. Lingering aftertaste. Altogether satisfying and at its peak.

Destemmed lifted aromatics. Balanced palate retaining some acidity.

Carre. Earthy, serious and deep. Felt like it was picked late.
