Note di degustazione
Tasted at the Doisy-Védrines vertical at the château, the 1988 Château Doisy-Védrines has a very Barsac nose with notes of marmalade, barley sugar and a touch of quince, all with excellent definition, although it probably lacks the vigor of the 1989 or 1990. The palate is very smooth and harmonious on the entry, a little low in acidity, but remains cohesive to the finish with a certain degree of elegance to it with touches of dried apricot, fig and marmalade. It just lacks the complexity and precision of the 1989 but there is tangy, orange cut marmalade on the aftertaste. This is still a very fine 1988 Barsac. Tasted September 2008.

Altre recensioni e punteggi
Pungent, sauvignon-like aromas of grass and herbs, plus notes of flowers and fruit salad. Rather high-toned and quite lively in the mouth; racy and very Barsac, but lacks the fat and richness of the subsequent two vintages. Fresh but a bit sugary on the aftertaste.
