Pale gold colored, the 2009 Doisy-Vedrines is sporting a nose of stewed tea, fresh hay, tree bark and dried apricots with touches of candied walnuts and ginger ale. The fruit is maturing into a nutty/savory character in the mouth with a lively backbone, finishing spicy.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 27/04/2010 This is comparatively timid on the nose, giving very little away at the moment despite rigorous coaxing. But the palate is very promising, very well balanced, very focused with a fine citrus attack on the entry, fanning out towards an apricot, white peach and lime tinged finish that shows a great deal of unctuous honeyed fruit on the finish. This is an exuberant Doisy-Vedrines that yearns to offer pleasure. ()

Tasted blind. Slightly simple and sugary on the nose. Edgy. Good acidity. Standard issue rather than thrilling. (JR)

Pale lemon gold; gently honeyed richness on the nose; fullish, rich, fleshy expression of 2009; intensely sweet, mineral infused, moderately complex if with clear Botrytis spice, and good rather than great length. 2015-30
