2007 Chateau Doisy Daene 2eme Cru Classe, Barsac 1x375ml

Vinous 90-93

Spicy nose began a bit swampy but showed ripe peach and melon aromas with aeration. Then fresh, spicy and pure in the mouth, with a lovely sugar/acid balance and an intense apricot flavor. Very harmonious wine, with a bright, fine finish. [Stephen Tanzer, 07/01/2008]

Tasted single blind against its peers. 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. Tasted January 2011. [01/02/2012]
