Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2006 L Extravagant de Doisy-Daene has a slightly muffled nose when compared to the 2007, beeswax and honeysuckle, orange blossom and saffron scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine acidity, exceptionally pure with a tensile and delineated finish that lingers longer in the mouth, a touch of egg whites on the aftertaste. Gorgeous.
Anticipated maturity: 2021-2055
Robert Parker 95
Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 L’Extravagant Doisy Daene has a rich, opulent and honeyed bouquet that seems to not so much seduce the olfactory senses, but get down to business straight away. The palate is rounded and sensual with pure honey, blood orange, popcorn and touches of nougat towards the tender finish. Beautifully balanced, unctuous and somehow effortless, this is a magnificent Doisy Daene that certainly lives up to its name. Tasted April 2016.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2050
