Surprisingly powerful with moderate tannins. Dark cherry fruit, rose petals and a hint of oak. Definitely a sign of the warmer vintage.

Notes of raspberries, wild flowers and spice. Given the youthfulness of this bottle, not surprised by the tart cherry/raspberry palate followed with minerality and slight toasted oak. Nice long finish.

Still catching up on notes from the Egly Ouriet night. This is the first straight non sparkling Pinot Noir I have had from Champagne. Cherries and Forest Floor on nose and palate. As good as a Premier Cru Burgundy in a warm year like 2015. Apparently two thirds of the crop was wasted in a green harvest leaving the remaining third to ripen. More acid than Burgundy. Only 200 cases made so quite rare. Delectable. This is the Ambonnay Rouge as per the label.

Silky red fruit. Surprisingly ripe. Blind I would call Côte d'Or. Not the most complex, but just delicious.
