Maureen, Totally agree!

Tony Vallone is a legendary restaurateur (just celebrated his 50th year of being arguably the best restaurant in town). Tony taught me long ago that the traditional order is Claret then Burgundy...which order I virtually always adhere to (while being surprised how many other people fail to do this).

One of the sad things in recent times is the premature demise of Rene Engel. His wines are so fine, as was this 2001 Clos Vougeot -- it was everything you would hope for with a Clos Vougeot.

We have a bonafide Burgundy expert here (not me, of course). We had Engel's 2003 Clos Vougeot not long ago and my friend said it was the best Clos Vougeot he could ever recall having.

Alas, Engel's estate is long gone.

I don't believe Ferreira had a 1994 Port designated as Colheita. I don't have a bottle of my stash handy so I can't confirm my belief that there is no mention of Colheita.
