Note di degustazione
Tasted at the Doisy-Védrines vertical at the château, the 1997 Château Doisy-Védrines has a noticeably deep colour, much like the 1999. This nose is lacking a little definition, perhaps too oxidative with notes of walnut oil, linseed and orange peel. The palate is powerful although lacks the finesse that more recent vintages have shown. There is "burly" honeyed and apricot-tinged fruit with a touch of mandarin and lemongrass. It is just a little too assertive on the finish and I notice some Tokaji notes on the aftertaste. Tasted September 2008.

Slightly cheesy nose. A big but distinctly unsubtle wine. Competent without being thrilling. (JR)
