the 2012 is drinking beautifully today

there is markedly more volume and power to the large-scaled if less refined flavors that possess much better mid-palate density before terminating in an impressively lengthy finish

Otherwise there is a refined yet solidly powerful mouthfeel to the medium weight flavors that also exude evident minerality on the impressively long and well-balanced finale

pencil lead and cardamom

Egly-Ouriet, VP Vieillissement Prolonge Extra Brut Vintage:N.V. the 2012 is drinking beautifullyA benchmark bottling that's a staple of my cellar, newly disgorged Egly's NV Extra Brut Grand Cru V. P. is a blend of the 2014, 2013 and 2012 vintages. Wafting from the glass with scents of pear, freshly baked bread, nougat, praline and clear honey, it's medium to full bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, chalky structure and a long, penetrating finish. Readers won't want to miss it.
