Amazing mazon sbiatti This bottling is from the British wine merchant Avery's. who bought barrels of wine and brought them to England for bottling until the practice was banned. The wine would have been labeled Domaine René Engel in France, but it was under the stewardship of his son Pierre at the time of this bottling. The wines under his reign were quite notable through the 1969 vintage. Pierre fell ill in 1970, and the estate was neglected until Pierre's son Philippe took over after wine school. The vintage was very good in Burgundy, though it is often overlooked because it was such a disaster in Bordeaux, says K&L's Burgundy buyer Keith Wollenberg. In 1999, the critic Clive Coates of the Vine wrote of this wine: "Full, very vigorous colour. Hardly any sign of age. Full, ample and spicy. Fat and Plump. Very good grip. This has length and quality and richness...Yet it has the fat, succulence, intensity and vigour. Fine Plus." — 3 months ago

A beloved guest chose this to accompany our Bristol bay salmon. Couldn't have been more delicious. Not excessively buttery or oaky. A full expression of Chardonnay leaving you wanting more. — 10 years ago

Once upon a time, the Bristol in Chicago had scotch olives on the menu - olives wrapped in pancetta, lightly breaded and deep fried. When you bit into one, it was a molten explosion of olive, meat, smoke and briny juiciness. Dunno what made me think of that... — 9 years ago

56 year old vintage port bottled in England by Avery’s of Bristol. Pale color but a rich caramel- honey-Walnut component. A joy to drink with loads of fruit in the nose and velvet finish. So damn good.🍷🍷 — 7 years ago
