Chateau Doisy Daene 2019

- 95 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: "Mittleres Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Frische weiße Tropenfrucht, zarter Blütenhonig, dezente Edelholzwürze nach Vanille, reife Mango ist unterlegt. Saftig, kraftvoll, engmaschig, süßer gelber Pfirsich, feine Ananasnote im Abgang, gute Frische, sehr gute Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

- 94-96 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2019 Doisy-Daëne is uncharacteristically backward on the nose and demands coaxing, eventually revealing lovely clear honey, quince and sea spray/oyster shell scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine line of acidity, taut and fresh with a weightlessness on the finish that contradicts its intensity. Not the best Doisy-Daëne ever, but still a tiny bit fab."

- 94-96+ Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: “The 2019 Doisy Daëne has seriously intense notes of pineapple upside-down cake, ripe apricots and lemon marmalade with hints of acacia honey, paraffin wax, orange blossoms and preserved ginger plus a waft of marzipan. The palate is rich, unctuous and boldly decadent, featuring layer upon layer of exotic fruits and spices, finishing with that signature freshness. A powerhouse!”

- 93 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, James Molesworth: „This has weight, focus and freshness, with a mix of well-defined orange, lemon, peach and nectarine notes. The bright finish is laced with heather and honeysuckle, featuring nice underlying acidity that helps set it apart from the pack. Drink now through 2035. 1,960 cases made.“

- 95 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2019 Doisy-Daene is a very pretty and inviting Barsac. Pineapple, mint, white flowers, spice and candied ginger give the 2019 ist exotic flavor profile. There is a feeling of weightlessness that is so alluring. Silky contours extend the finish effortlessly. Superb.“

- 91 Punkte DECANTER, Georgina Hindle: „Expressive, pungent aromatics of lemon, lime and bitter grapefruit pith. Lively, weighty, pure and juicy, showing lemon and lime cordial, peach, apricot and pineapple. Exotic and exuberant with high, sherbet acidity. Drinking Window 2022 – 2029“

- 19 Punkte Rene Gabriels BORDEAUX TOTAL, Andre Kunz: „Kunz Fassprobe 2020: (100% Sémillon, 13% vol. Alkohol, Produktion 30'000 Flaschen) Dichtes, samtenes, fein opulentes, frisches, komplexes Bouquet, Zitrus, fein Limetten, Lindenblüten, Kreide, gekochte Birnen, Minze, Honig. Cremiger, gut üppiger, dichter Gaumen mit kräftiger Süsse, gut eingebundener Säure, fein molliger Struktur, vielfältiger, kräftiger Aromatik, dichter Frucht, sehr langer, kräftiger, voller Abgang mit vielen Rückaromen.“

- 92-94 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „One of the more exotic, perfumed, and complex Sauternes in the vintage, the 2019 Château Doisy Daëne just about jumps out of the glass with its rocking nose of caramelized peach, ripe pineapple, honeyed orange, and floral aromas and flavors. More medium-bodied on the palate, with a rounded, silky texture that carries good acidity and good, maybe not great, mid-palate depth, it's certainly an outstanding, exotic Barsac that will be approachable in its youth yet keep for 15-20 years.“

- 94 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „White pears, peaches, lemon meringue and acacia honey on the nose. Medium-bodied with succulent lemon-pie character. Sweet, yet fresh and tangy. Excellent balance. Drink now or hold.“
