Rene Engel Clos Vougeot 2003 750mL (Soiled Label)

"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)." - Wine Advocate, RP92 (PR), tasted 8/2005
