Château Doisy-Daëne, L'Extravagant 1996
Barsac, 2ème cru classé
Tasting note: The 1996 l'Extravagant is pure Sauvignon Blanc. It boasts a deep gold color, in addition to an unctuous texture, fabulous freshness, and notes of grapefruit and subtle oak (the 200% new oak treatment is utilized for the whopping 100-125 cases produced). A huge wine, with lots of acidity and little mass and volume, this tour de force in wine making should drink well for 50+ years. Readers should note that this offering is only available in one-bottle wood cases! Anticipated maturity: 2007-2050+. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122, April 1999
11 half bottles per lot
