The 1995 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from the late Philippe Engel is beautiful, wafting from the glass with notes of sweet red-black fruit, incense, game bird, rich soil and toasty new oak—which integrates more and more with air. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and generous, with a lavishly textural attack, succulent acids, melting tannins and a long, penetrating finish. For a 1995 red Burgundy, this is decidedly dramatic and pleasure-bent. - William Kelley

Beautiful in a i terroir n -driven traditional style. Reserved and deep on the nose it kicks into high gear on the palate offering layers of rich fruit and complex soil and earth character with ripe flavors like plum as well as lovely mineral-laden notes. Medium-bodied. Best from 2000 through 2007. –PM
