Egly-Ouriet, VP Vieillissement Prolonge Extra Brut Size:6x750ml The 2013 Gattinara Valferana is

The 2013 Gattinara Valferana is super-expressive today

merging with a gentle smattering of earth and autumn leaves that float you through the finish

with a level of translucent energy that is alluring

which lingers with an ash aftertaste

with a licorice

Egly-Ouriet, VP Vieillissement Prolonge Extra Brut Size:6x750ml The 2013 Gattinara Valferana isA 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.
