The focus here is on pineapple and apricot fruit. Citrus curd and lime zest run through the palate, and the clear sweetness is balanced by a zesty lift. It feels young and enticing even at 20 years old, and the colour retains a fresh sunflower gold, just starting to russet around the edges. Denis Dubourdieu had begun running Doisy-Daëne in 2000, taking over from his father Pierre, so this was his second vintage. Fermentation and ageing in barrel. ... More details

The Doisy Daene 2001 is still quite backward on the nose compared to its peers and as a consequence, demands more coaxing from the glass: beeswax, honeycomb and a touch of lanolin. The palate is well balanced with a vibrant, citrus-fresh entry. This Barsac is struck through with engaging, lovely orange peel and citrus lemon notes here that segue into a refined and tensile finish that leaves you wanting any sip.

The 2001 Doisy-Daëne has a gorgeous bouquet of lanolin, honeysuckle, marmalade and yellow flowers, well defined and quintessentially Barsac. This is blossoming at 20 years of age. The palate is very well balanced with a viscous opening. What strikes me is the purity of this Barsac, plus the tension and race from start to finish. Orange zest, quince and touches of saffron line the finish, which fans out wonderfully. Superb.
