Tasting notes
I have always had a weakness for Engel's immensely appealing 2002 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées, a charming and expressive wine that bursts with aromas of peony, rose petal, sweet berry fruit and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's elegantly enveloping, with lively acids, melting tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2002 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées is a dramatic, expressive wine in its youthful plenitude, bursting with aromas of ripe berries, orange rind, rose petal and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and expansive, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a generous core of fruit, concluding with a sappy finish.
