Community Tasting Note

  January 31, 2014 - Although there's been some bottle variation over the dozen or so bottles of this that I've drank since late 2012, this ended up being a great purchase from the Last Bottle. It's still hanging in there, although it has peaked and has slowly started to show signs of oxidation. I recommend drinking sooner rather than later and certainly before the end of 2014. Definitely a mature and rounded Chardonnay. I still have a few left from the 18 purchased but will drink over the next few months.

I've found all three to be consistent in style from year to year and always excellent. I really like the Sans Permis as it was high quality at a price that was unbeatable! I'm more of a Cab or Bordeaux person, but I drink just enough Chardonnay to to keep my palate"tuned". :-)
