Tasting Notes

This has phenolic tension and power with so much dried fruit character from pineapple to mango. Full, medium sweet and lively. Really excellent.

95/96
James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, March 2016

Pale lemon. Less distinct than the Ch Doisy-Daëne. Correct and a bit spindly but grainy and textured. Good but not great.
Drink 2021-2035

Ripe apricot, yellow peach the nose has the richness of sweet fruit the palate is fleshy sumptuous with honeyed richness in the middle slices of candied orange peel. There is enough tangerine to balance slightly lighter at the back the finish though lush, rich and ripe. 2022-2035

The largest of the Doisy properties has made one of the most powerful sweet wines of the
vintage, verging on extravagance. Plush, oaky and concentrated, with ginger spice, plenty of
honeyed sweetness and a foundation of rich nectarine and pineapple fruit. Drink: 2018-28

Mango! My goodness this wine is tropical and exciting. I have never seen such a pure example of a mango-stuffed
sweetie in my life.

The 2015 Doisy-Vedrines has quite an intense nose, perhaps less fat and honeyed than recent vintages, more finesse if not quite capturing the same level of details as the Doisy-Daëne this year. The palate is very promising with layers of honeyed fruit tinged with white chocolate and almond, a lovely swagger about this Doisy-Vedrines that reminds me of great vintages such as 1989. Always well priced, you won't harm your cellar with a case of Olivier Castèja's sumptuous Barsac. Drink: 2019-2040.

Deep gold. Broad pear-juice nose. Massive weight and some spice. Big and bold. Dramatic weight even if not the raciness of the other Doisy. Clear botrytis influence.
Drink 2027-2042
