  April 29, 2024 - This was our first time trying this wine. Exchanged Peter Michael Chardonnay for this bottle. We were very pleased with this vintage and are looking forward to having again. I am no expert on aging but think now is a good time to open this vintage if you have it.

  April 11, 2024 - Vinklubben Dionysos 2024; 1/1/2024-12/31/2024: Kongsgaard Chardonnay 2020 er et beist av en chardonnay!
  Gyllengul farge. Voldsom og intens lukt av smørmalt, marsipan, vanilje, appelsinmarmelade og temmelig tungt eikepreg.
  Dette er heftige saker. Tung, oljete, stor og kjøttfull vin, brautende og på grensen til vulgær. Vi var fire som delte flasken - to av de andre ga den laveste score som noen gang er gitt i vinklubben - vi andre takket ja til et glass til. Det blir nesten for mye av det gode, men det er godt. Syns jeg. Tydelig smak av honningmelon, smørmalt og appelsinmarmelade, svært tydelig eikepreg (18 måneder på nye fat), men det pakkes på merkelig vis inn i en solid fruktdose. Vanvittig ‘trøkk’, lang og tung smakskurve, eiketanniner, godt med syre og minuttlang avslutning med smørmalt og vanilje på utpust.

  March 31, 2024 - Interesting range of reviews here. This bottle was in great shape, drinking very well. Oak had faded, good length, rich flavour. Clearly I had better luck than many.

  January 13, 2024 - Nice and plesant with good tropical fruits and a fresh acid. But the vanilla taste from the oak dominates to much.

  January 12, 2024 - Not my style of chard. Won’t age well at all. Fruit is almost gone. I’ll never buy this again.
