The 2015 Doisy-Daene has a detailed bouquet, very correct, nothing showy or flamboyant as is typical of Denis Dubourdieu's Barsac. The palate is extremely well balanced and very pure: citrus fruit infusing the honeyed botrytis, veins of white peach and quince, leading to a very precise and sustained finish that leaves you with a smile on your face...and the wine ain't even finished yet! Just a wonderful wine - full of class and nascent joie-de-vivre. Chapeau Denis! Drink: 2019 - 2050; Rating: 95-97 Points; Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

The 2015 Doisy Daene has a wonderful, vibrant bouquet with beautifully delineated honeyed fruit and superb mineralité. The palate is extremely well balanced with a killer line of acidity, very focused with pineapple, apricot, quince and mineral toward the detailed finish that is brimming with energy and vigor. What a great Doisy Daene this is going to be (if you can resist the temptation to open a bottle!). Drink: 2022 - 2055; Rating: 96 Points; Neal Martin

Another blockbuster Barsac is the 2015 Château Doisy Daëne from proprietor Denis Dubourdieu. This huge, opulent, awesome wine gives up layers of white peach, caramelized citrus, and white flowers, and stays shockingly pure, polished, and precise on the palate for a wine of this richness and scale. It’s an awesome wine to drink over the coming 2-3 decades. Rating: 96 Points; Jeb Dunnuck

Very intense marmalade, lemon, grapefruit, apricot and honey nose. The palate is rich and complex with crisp balancing acidity and reverberating flavours of ginger, tropical fruit and exotic spice. Finishes long with a pleasant citrus fruit aftertaste. Entering peak drinking zone now. Rating: 96 Points; Decanter

A very fresh and elegant style, but this is no lightweight. Rather, it’s got a long, very focused finish with some minerality that’s really uplifting. I love the bright candied-lemon character on the nose. This is already beautifully balanced, but only just beginning to open up. Should keep for several decades if properly cellared. Rating: 95-96 Points; James Suckling

This has nice intensity, with bright verbena, green plum and mirabelle plum notes streaking ahead, backed by more flattering persimmon and creamed yellow apple flavors. A bitter citrus thread gives the finish tension. Nicely done, in the fresher style. Best from 2020 through 2035. Rating: 95 Points; Wine Spectator
