I had this wine for the first time about three years ago and it was huge disappointment. It was super jammy, and it felt like a fruit bomb kind of "in your face". It was not subtil whatsoever. I thought I would never buy again, but I had another bottle in the cellar and decided to give it some time.
Fast forward to 2022, the 2016 vintage turns out pretty interesting. The flavors have mellowed down and are much more I harmony. We had it paired with a five layer crust reversed sear steak, smoked on the kamado. Overall, there is worst in life! ;-) Feels like spring is finally here...

We had this wine with home made pasta. Everyone around the table loved it. In my opinion there is still some room to evolve and it will be better in a few year (two bad I only had one bottle). But for sure I will buy again, fairly expensive in Canada, but it is a good one to cellar.

I had this wine a few years ago and it was amazing (probably a 90 points if I remember well). Now it feels more leathery and mutted. Not sure maybe it is passed its prime or just asleep. The wine was a 2017 vintage.

Overall the wine is really well made and balanced. Good quality/price considering it is from Bourgogne and made by a renowned winery. You won't be calling your mom to tell her about it, but for sure it will make your Friday evening enjoyable! Joseph Drouhin hits the nail on the head as usual!

Cork was dried, but the wax probably kept the wine fresh. Medium red color with tint of orange at the rim.
Tannins are still present. Dry wine. Flavors are showing aging. Still pretty good, but I don't think it will get much better if kept longer in cellar. Really interesting wine and good quality/price. We decanted the wine about 1 hour before meal, had it paired with smoked ribs.

Closed at first, required at least 1 hour in carafe to open up flavors. It's a good wine but expensive for what it is.

Drank in 2020, still young, decanted it for 2 hours but it needs more time to age and balance. Deep purple, lots of fruits (plum, blackberry currant), little vanilla, long lasting.

Second vin de Doisy-Daene. A ce prix on peut se permettre un Sauternes/Barsac a chaque semaine!

Le vin est moins intense que le premier vin de Doisy-Daene, mais vraiment intéressant a ce prix. Miel, melon , croustade aux pommes, amandes , brioche...
