1990 Doisy Daene - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

1990 Doisy-Daëne , Sauternes, Bordeaux, France. Nice deep gold. Very fruity flavours, pineapple, pears, honey, floral and still well marked by the roasted feeling of the botrytis. The attack of Doisy-Daëne is rich and melting in the mouth, with a beautiful fat accompanying an expressive fruit. Unfortunately, the finish of 1990 Doisy-Daëne reveals a curious impression of dominant acidity which breaks the roundness of the palate while finishing "pointed". Perhaps 1990 Doisy-Daëne should be kept a few more years so that the structure can completely integrate? A little bit disappointing. 88/100.

1997 Doisy Daene - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

1997 Doisy Daene : (Barsac) - 2ème Cru Classe. Paler than Chateau Nairac. The nose is a bit closed but reveals discreet banana, peers, honey and caramel aromas. In mouth, this wine is powerful, but has a lot of finesse too. Long and complex Doisy-Daene, slightly salted (iodized) on the tongue. A very enjoyable and classical Sauternes-Barsac Doisy-Daene. 89/100
