Tasted at the château, the 2001 Château Doisy-Védrines has an attractive honeysuckle and butterscotch bouquet, well defined with just a touch of wet wool. Returning after 10 minutes it does appear to have lost some of its panache and complexity. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry: tangerine and honey, dried orange peel and a focused, tensile finish that feels long in the mouth, but like the aromatics, aeration seems to take this Barsac apart at the seams and it falls just a little flat. I must confess that this particular vintage did not match previous, more impressive showings.- Neal Martin (08/2015)
