Community Tasting Note

  • jmoore431 Likes this wine: 92 points

    May 20, 2022 - Experienced Chablis drinkers will recognize this as at peak (not past it’s prime). Delicious with refined intensity, minerality and class. Excellent long finish. 92+

I would imagine there is some bottle variation at this point, and wonder if that might lead some of these tasting notes to think it's past its prime? I know I have had quite different experiences with various vintages and Crus and not all of them have been sublime.
