I had the great privilege to drink this wine on two occasions, coming from the same cellar, once some 2-3 years ago, and the second bottle on 16 December, 2009. Both bottles were superb. The nose has complex strawberry, bacon, spice aromas. The mouth is surprisingly fresh and features smoke, roast meat juice, blond tobacco, spices. Very fine, this is essence of Clos Vougeot in a great vintage from the famous René Engel domaine. One of the greatest wines I have tasted.
