The Château Doisy-Daëne 2014 is bestowed with 144 grams per liter residual sugar and a pH of 3.7. It is much more introspective compared to the Coutet at the moment, perhaps because of less residual, but it is fragrant and ethereal with wild honey, yellow flower and orange blossom scents developing with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with superb tension and fruit intensity on the entry. It is more linear than recent vintages, minerally with a lovely twist of sour lemon imparting tension and vivacity on the crystalline finish. This is a fabulous Doisy-Daëne from Denis Dubourdieu. <br/>The Château Doisy-Daëne 2014 is bestowed with 144 grams per liter residual sugar and a pH of 3.7.

Creamed pineapple, yellow apple and ginger notes form the core here, which has ample weight but moves gracefully, as orange zest and elderflower honey details stream underneath. A bitter citrus oil accent hangs on the finish for a long time. Has a lot of power for a Barsac. Best from 2020 through 2040. 2,083 cases made.

Mitteldunkles Gelb, somit recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Das intensive, konzentrierte Bouquet zeigt viele gelbe Blumen und einen Korb voll reifer Mirabellen, im zweiten Ansatz; antrocknende Kamille. Im Gaumen so üppig, wie man es sich sonst eher von einem Sauternes gewohnt ist. Also ist das ein sehr reicher Doisy, welcher mit einer körnigmineralischen, sanft bitteren Note im Finale endet. Eine Stunde später verkosteten wir ihn noch einmal auf Lafaurie-Peyraguey. Da wirkte er noch eleganter. Der feine Sanftbitterton im Nachklang war aber auch wieder da. 2020 – 2053

This shows lots of dried fruits and intensity. Full body, medium sweetness and a long, flavorful finish. Plenty of dried fruit character. Very dense.
