The 2017 Doisy-Daëne is so compelling. Rich and ample in the glass, the 2017 just blossoms with a bit of time. Candied apricot, exotic white flowers, mint, hazelnut and chamomile notes confer richness. The 2017 is deep, powerful and wonderfully resonant from start to finish. Moreover, it has very few peers in this vintage, one of them being the top-of-the line L'Extravagant. Date: March 2020; Rating: 97 Points; Vinous

The 2017 Château Doisy Daëne is a seriously decadent, thick, opulent beauty that packs serious sweetness in its canned peach, lime peel, and exotic tropical fruit aromas and flavors. While it’s a big wine, it has terrific balance, good density and concentration, and a huge finish. It’s a potential blockbuster Barsac that’s going to have a long life.

This is ablaze with pineapple, white peach, yellow apple and quince flavors that stream through, gilded with racy honeysuckle and acacia notes. Offers a long, lilting finish. Best from 2022 through 2045. Date: Mar 2020; Rating: 96 Points; Wine Spectator
