Stored in cool Whistler cellar less than 45 degrees F and part of a vertical tasting of Engel Clos Vougeot. Medium light ruby with cranberry nose and surprisingly sweet complex palate of raspberry and subtle soy, morphing into an outstandingly long finish. No sign of green meanies and easily the best 2004 red burgundy this taster has ever opened. A fitting tribute to the skills of Philippe Engel, as this was his last vintage. Vintners who make wines this good in disastrous vintages are superstars! Best 2025-2035.

second time having this wine out of Magnum. 1rst time in 2018 and both times a delicious wine and one of the best 2004's I've had. No hint of green on the nose. lively nose that I dare say is outshined by the palate. Good length and the fruit is present and last. very approachable with more to come.

To me, the late Engel did superb wine in 2004 vintage. Stunning nose, similar to Roumier Amoureuses, sweet and seductive, with extra touch of mint but less florals. Quite a complete package, the linearity, focus and precision on the palate is indeed excellent! I love the acidity here, salivating. No hint of GM here, very Long and complex.

Engel nailed this vintage. Very floral with hint of green note, flowers, stems and red currant. Palate was initially thin but it built weight with more time in the glass. Silky, airy and transperent with solid backbone. A very strong 04 red burg. 93-94
