L'Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne 2024

Buttery pineapples, spice, Crème Brûlée, lemon meringue, and honey aromas pop in the perfume. The palate is even better. Rich and intense, with layers of lemon curd, salty oranges, mangos, and caramel. The wine is fresh, sharp, and rich, with ample lift and energy to balance everything out. This is the most intense, powerful sweet wine of the vintage. Drink from 2028-2055. 95-97 pts

Yellow in colour with green highlights. The nose is intense, refined and fruity, becoming more iodine-like as the wine is swirled in the glass. Broad on the attack and silky mid-palate with plenty of flavour, it finishes melting across the palate, with a lime note that is characteristic of the vintage but also very Barsac. A sappy, unspittable wine. The nose should evolve during ageing.
