Rene Engel Clos Vougeot 2003 750mL

2003 Rene Engel Clos Vougeot - Wine Advocate # 160 - Aug 2005: The 2003 Clos Vougeot explodes from the glass with licorice, dark cherries, and a myriad of spices. A wine of considerable depth, it is packed with suave black fruits immersed in chocolate. Well-structured, ripe, and exceptionally long, it will merit a higher score if its alcoholic warmth is absorbed into the wine with time (something that sometimes occurs with Pinot Noirs). Projected maturity: 2008-2017. (Pierre Rovani)
