Danie de Wet Bateleur Chardonnay 2000 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Robertson
R400
This wine is now known as "De Wetshof Bateleur Chardonnay"
'Exotic, with matchstick, cardamom and toast notes that weave through concentrated pear, fig and mango fruit. Seems almost tannic on the finish, with the fruit showing admirable concentration, yet stays poised and balanced. Needs short-term cellaring. A bit idiosyncratic, but I like it. Drink now through 2005.' (Tasted in 2003) - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 89/100
'This is rather hot on the nose, but past that are aromas of banana, pineapple and melon. These lovely fruits carry to the refreshing palate, finishing with hay, light cream and toast.' (Tasted in 2003) - Wine Enthusiast, 88/100
