Silky texture, noteable gunsmoke and cigar box that deepens the complexity and sense of interest, set alongside the citrus fruits, lime blossom and soft spices. Has interest and sets itself apart. 30% new oak. Drinking Window 2021 - 2044. Date: Nov 2020; Rating: 96 Points; Decanter

The 2018 Doisy-Daëne is effusive and intensely aromatic right from the start. Sweet floral notes, baked apple tart, pineapple and mint abound. Bright and beautifully lifted, with terrific presence and plenty of richness, Doisy-Daëne is simply fabulous in 2018. Time in the glass brings out its textured, resonant personality nicely. All I can say is it takes an extraordinary amount of discipline to leave the 2018 behind in the setting of a professional tasting, as it is the sort of wine I would much rather drink over the course of many hours.

Serious density and spiciness with a full body, lovely sweetness and a flavorful, spicy finish. Lovely botrytis. Rating: 93-94 Points; James Suckling
