Château Doisy-Daëne 2018 – Barsac, 2nd Grand Cru Classé

The nose is elegant, racy and offers concentration (full of finesse), power (well-built/dosed) and a very beautiful deepness (full of finesse). It reveals notes of kumquat, clementine fresh zests, small notes of small fruits associated with fine touches of zests, lychee, sugared pear, a very discreet hint of sweet spices and grey pepper (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant and offers a fine acidulous frame, juiciness as well as tension, harmony, suavity and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crystallized lemon, fresh lychee, white fruits/ripe apple, small notes of juicy pear associated with small touches of quenette, a very discreet hint of papaya as well as an imperceptible hint of lime, a discreet hint of verbena and flowers.
