 Tasted by SixHedgehogs on 9/6/2023 & rated 95 points: Medium yellow/silver. Aroma of toasted almond, wet straw, thyme, oak, touch of smoke. Complex flavour of greengage, apple pie, butter, nutmeg, rancid lemon, creme patisserie, hint of vanilla and sour apple. It’s just superb. More to come as it ages I expect. I could drink this over an evening and see how it evolves. A wine to share. (1173 views)
 Tasted by KeepHer on 8/30/2023: Fonky and sweet.
Goes down well.

The problem is it gets worse after that. The fonk isn't fonky so the sweetness goes meh. (888 views)
 Tasted by Madsen og vinfruen on 6/13/2023: A lack of fruits and acid in this bottle. More then normal. (1258 views)
 Tasted by ThijsV on 5/6/2023 & rated 87 points: Big, oaky, ripe. Good acidity, but overall not great (1334 views)
 Tasted by FabianaSS on 3/18/2023: Fin intensitet, fatpreget, smøraktig, tropisk frukt i aroma, spesielt tørket ananas, mango, fersken og litt pære, god balanse av syrlighet og restsødme. Hint av vanilje og mandel. Lang ettersmak med litt bitterhet. God vin. (1385 views)
 Tasted by il_diavolo on 2/6/2023 & rated 87 points: yellow fruit, almonds/nuts, slightly bitter on finish. Just OK. (1056 views)

 Tasted by pakj on 11/19/2022 & rated 90 points: 먹어본 샤도중에 제일 발란스가 좋은 느낌
적절한 산도, 미네랄느낌, 유질감, 잔당향.
와인자체만 즐기기도 좋고, 해산물 마리아쥬도 좋다.
해물 파스타 어떨지. (547 views)
 Tasted by MosheDehsoM on 10/25/2022 & rated 91 points: What a lovely wine! Just found I have another bottle & not just one😊

Starting with the aroma... everything you want in an oaked Chardonnay: vanilla, butter, stone, minerals, honey, apple, apricot, citrus, lime, lemon, in a really addicting way... wawoooooo 🥂🥂🥂

Medium plus body. Medium minus acidity.

Clear bright yellow color, not too intense, with shades of green. Nice.

On the palate, same as aroma, beautiful mixture of citrus, apple, apricot, pear, oak, minerals & grass.

Expensive in Israel, but worth it. (858 views)
 Tasted by grapenomad on 10/20/2022 & rated 87 points: Deep golden in the glass. Strong oak on the nose. Toast, charred wood, biscuit. Full-bodied with high acidity and medium (+) alcohol. Too much oak, this is an old-man-in-a-suit’s kinda wine. (860 views)
 Tasted by BårdKB on 7/25/2022 & rated 90 points: 199 på danskebåten -> skeptisk. Men danskebåtvin trenger tydeligvis ikke være dårlig. Sitron, litt eik, ikke veldig mye syre, godt balansert. Supert kjøp. (985 views)
 Tasted by Werner900 on 6/22/2022: God. (1040 views)
 Tasted by OSommer on 6/18/2022 & rated 90 points: Great quality Chardo. Super QPR … one of the better buy’s on OSL Tax-free (229,- NOK). Well balanced, medium acidity. Today’s pairing: assorted grilled fish & vegetables with hollandaise sauce.

10 months on 225 liter oak barrels, citrus, apricot, butter. ABV: 13.5, RS: < 3 g/l, TA: 5.5 g/l (972 views)
