Score 98/100 · Drink 2007-2050, Robert Parker, Apr 2000

This limited production cuvee (produced only in the greatest vintages) is spectacular. The 1997 (100% Semillon) contains 20% residual sugar, and a well-hidden 14.5% alcohol. The wine is mammoth in the mouth, with layers of unctuously-textured, honeyed tropical fruits, beautifully integrated toasty new oak, plenty of botrytis, and considerable sweetness. It is a triumph in wine making, and will undoubtedly last 50-100 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050+. Readers should note that this offering is only available in one-bottle wood cases! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050+. (No tasting note was provided in Issue 128. We have instead included the text of the tasting note from Issue 122)

This Second Growth estate has origins dating back to the late 1800s. It is, however, under the ownership of the Dubourdieu family – who took over the Barsac property in 1924 – that Ch. Doisy-Daëne truly flourished.
