Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 90
Pale, green-tinged color. Pure, floral, very fresh aromas of lime, apricot, honeysuckle, clove and coconut. Sweet and succulent, with terrific minerally grip giving firmness to the apricot, honey and spiceflavors. Clean, complex wine. This is 13.8% alcohol, with 128 grams of residual sweetness and 4.3 grams acidity. Should make a perfect aperitif.
Robert Parker 88
Tasted at the chateau, the 2002 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines has a slightly disjointed bouquet with undergrowth and waxy aromas on the nose. The palate is fresh on the entry and well balanced. It feels rich with plenty of botrytis for the vintage,weighty on the waxy-textured finish with orange zest, quince and fig. If the nose could find a little more breeding then this would deserve a higher score but as such, it is a vintage that I would be approaching now rather than later.
Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028
