Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. The 2012 Château Doisy-Védrines has a clean, slightly smudged but pleasant bouquet of beeswax, caramelized butter, fig and honeysuckle. The palate is clean and fresh with good acidity, pineapple and white peach to the fore, though it falls away towards the finish (quicker than the bottle tasted at the property last year.) You might describe it as an "in and out" Sauternes insofar that it does not hang around after doing a decent job.
Tasted blind. Muddy nose and very simple palate. Some lime flavour plus sweetness but not really a very complex whole. Fast fade. (JR)
Greenish gold. Much less distinguished nose than some of this line-up of UGC 2012 Sauternes. Simple. Full-on sweetness plus a hint of cumin. Early maturing. Just a streak of acidity on the end. But far from complex. (JR)
