| It's another buy it if you can find it bubbly.
- N.V. Egly-Ouriet Champagne Extra Brut Vieillissment Prolongé Grand Cru - France, Champagne (3/24/2007)
92+; Disgorged May 2007; A fine champagne with brioche, hazelnut, smoke, and red apple aromas and flavors. Great complexity. This champagne would do well evaluated against many single vintage champagnes. I would buy this again under $75. From Josh Raynolds (IWC) - "V.P." stands for vieillisement prolonge, or prolonged aging: this is a blend of wines back to 1995. (92 pts.)

| This bottle just wasn't close to the others we've had. At ~$85 I expect a better champagne than this. | | | |

| Tex, is this all from the same batch (disgorgment date)? | | | |

| JT - Nope but my records are spotty. And to make it more complicated I ordered two lots - one from North Berkeley and one from Hi-Time in So Cal. Unfortunately I wasn't keeping good records although I know the first lot from NB was all good as far as I can tell (the original TN) or I wouldn't have re-ordered. Hi-Time stickered their lot so I can tell which was which if I pay attention.
I have two more bottles with different disgorge dates so I'll be sure to report on these. | | | |

| Thanks - I have a few as well. I'll post TNs when I pop them (with disgorgment dates). | | | |

| I'll do my best to remember to check my disgorgement dates as well. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |
