Tasting Notes

A little sugary. I could do with more acidity and depth. Chewy. Pretty simple.

Score: 16

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2015-2022 26 October 2011

Pale straw. Rather simple sweet aromas. And a bit of alcohol on the finish. Pear drops rather than pear juice - not a good trade. Definitely one of the less complex 2009 sweet white Bordeaux. Fades a bit fast.

Score: 15 - 16

This is comparatively timid on the nose, giving very little away at the moment despite rigorous coaxing. But the palate is very promising, very well balanced, very focused with a fine citrus attack on the entry, fanning out towards an apricot, white peach and lime tinged finish that shows a great deal of unctuous honeyed fruit on the finish. This is an exuberant Doisy-Vedrines that yearns to offer pleasure.

Score: 92 - 94

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 27 April 2010

The opposite style (as always) of Barsac than Doisy-Daëne, slightly less pale, heavier pear and apricot aromas, rounder, more oily texture, great length too, less harmonious finish but great stuff for the ageing. (16.5 points)

Score: 16 - 17

Decanter, Decanter.com 01 April 2010

Shows lots of lemon pie and almond spice, with hints of bitter lemon. Full-bodied, with a nutmeg and honey finish. Racy.

Score: 92 - 95
