Score 90/100 · Drink 2015-2020, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Aug 2015
Tasted several times, the 1970 Château Doisy-Védrines has always been a light, pretty wine. Here served blind in Bordeaux, it has a pretty, perfumed nose of honey, quince and this time, a little acacia. The palate is well balanced and vibrant with notes of apricot, lemon curd and peach. It does not have great depth or length, but it is so charming, so pretty and after 38-years, so vivacious, that you cannot help but fall for its charms. Tasted September 2008.
