  Extremely exuberant mousse which died quickly. Light gold. Quite pleasant aroma of soft apple and cinnamon, only a hint of oxidation. Very charming on the mid palate at first; later became youthfully disjointed. A much fresher presentation than E-Os of the past. Try again in a few years; this could be interesting.

  PnP'ed, literally... Lots of mousse. Fresh nose, very floral. Green apples, rounded acidity/freshness with a tinge of ginger, nary a hair out of place... with an extremely long finish. I'd say it's quite atypical of a young Egly - not alot of that oxidative note... Young, no doubt, but so good and it'll get even better with more cellar age.

  Par level. If I had to choice I would go with 2013 because it is a bit fresher and more elegant. The concentration is amazing but the finish is filigree. 99-100

  If you bring this to a tasting with friends, keep an eye on this bottle. It will most definitely be the first to finish - this is a bottle that will make you fall in love with champagne all over again. Perfectly crisp and precise - the clarity you get from this zones out all background noise and you are left with what is practically a perfect bottle. I know giving a wine 100 is unorthodox but I genuinely think this is a perfect bottle.

  Had a bottle over the course of an evening with a tasting menu. Wow. Powerful hit of palate cleansing acidity — not sharp or searing but broad and rich with lemon and almond extract. After the palate cleanser big and broad nutty and rich. Very consistent throughout the night — didn’t change in character — and because of the palate cleansing effect it didn’t interplay much with the food. Didn’t overpower it or fight with it (like eg a big Cabernet would), just slid all those tastes aside and declared that it was the captain now.
