2007 Doisy Daëne, Sauternes (375ml)

SKU #1064250 95 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Denis Dubourdieu conjured a wonderful Barsac in 2007. Here there is an initial lightness on the nose that builds with each swirl of the glass. It exhibits fine minerality with apple, dried honey and a touch of wet stone. The palate is very harmonious with good acidity, very focused and succinct with great precision towards the poised finish. This has barely starting motoring, but it possesses an unbridled sense of nonchalance. (NM) Inner quote mark (2/2012)

93 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Very fruity, showing tropical fruit such as mango on the nose, with lots of spice. Full-bodied and really sweet, with a honeylike, almost syrupy density. Spicy and intense on the finish. (JS) Inner quote mark (3/2010)

92 points Int'l Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Bright medium gold. Knockout nose melds apricot, pineapple, curry powder and exotic smoky oak. Very dense and thick, with a honeyed sweetness, but kept in check today by strong acidity. This very powerful wine is youthfully imploded at present, even a bit aggressive, and will need several years to express itself. Late finishing notes of flowers and minerals contribute to the wine's vibrant character. (ST) Inner quote mark (7/2010)

92 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark *Cellar Selection* The color is light on this wine, which is really only just beginning to show richness. The botrytis dominates, with a fat, oily texture needing many years of aging. There is a lovely ripe orange marmalade flavor on the finish. (RV) Inner quote mark (6/2010)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Mid gold. Very broad and rich on the nose. Frank and straightforward. Big and bold and very well expressed. Dry finish. Quite long and very well balanced. 18/20 points (JR) Inner quote mark (10/2009)
