Chateau Doisy Daene 2011

Weinwisser: "Mitteldunkles Gelb, recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Die erste Sekunde offenbart der Nase Ausserordentliches: eine unglaubliche Barsac-Frische, Zitronenöl, Mandarinensaft, Vanillepulver, frisch gebackenes Weissbrot, Tropisches wie Ananas und Kokos. Sublimer Gaumenfluss, saftiges Extrakt, alles ist harmonisch, Süsse und Säure sorgen für eine dramatische Länge. Ein grosser Barsac, der nicht satt macht, sondern süchtig!"

Falstaff: "Mittleres Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Sauber, gelbfruchtig, Nuancen von reifem Pfirsich, feiner Honig, am Gaumen balanciert, wirkt noch eine Spur zu schlank, elegant und anhaltend, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial, delikate Stilistik."

Wine Spectator: "This delivers a crackling display of tangerine, white peach, persimmon, green fig and ginger notes, with perfectly embedded acidity letting everything harmonize beautifully through the finish. Shows stunning length and definition. Best from 2016 through 2035. 2,270 cases made."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Luscious, tropical fruit, apricot, candied orange, vanilla and honey scents take no effort to find. On the palate, the wine is sweet, long and rich, with good levels of acidity to keep its honeyed personality fresh and interesting."

Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas of green-plum jelly and a touch of toast set out a wine that is spicy as well as fresh. Bitter orange marmalade flavors are laced with lime acidity, lying over a firm, tense structure with a mineral edge. It will develop well, but don't drink before 2020."

Decanter: "A dense wine with honey, spice and butterscotch undertones. Full and very sweet. Turns spicy on the finish. Lots of botrytis character."

Jancis Robinson: "Lovely intense, tangy marzipan/linseed spice. Rich and viscous, deep and fresh enough to give a spicy counterpoint to the sweetness."
