Chateau Doisy Daene, Sauternes l'Extravagant, 2003 (375mL)
L'Extravagant is the wild experiment of Doisy-Daene, a Second Growth Barsac estate, dreamed up by the late Denis Dubourdieu, one of the most influential white-wine minds in Bordeaux history. It is a tiny-production cuvee, roughly 100 cases when made at all, drawn from the most intensely botrytized fruit on the estate's limestone-rich Barsac terroir, with sugar levels nearly double those of the regular Sauternes. The result is concentration bordering on the absurd, yet electrified by Barsac acidity so it never cloys. This is a half-bottle of the 2003, a famously hot, ripe vintage that suits the cuvee's over-the-top style. A connoisseur's dessert wine, sweet but precise.
