93 points Wine Spectator: "Intense aromas of honey, dried pineapple and botrytis spice. Full-bodied, very sweet and very powerful, with loads of dried fruit and sweetness on the finish. Lots of clove and orange peel. Same quality as the 2001. Best after 2013. (3/31/08)"
93 points Bettane & Desseauve's Guide to the Wines of France: "(Sweet White; 2015 up to 2025). Very diverse aromatics, a classic foundation of apricot and yellow fruit, beautiful acidity. A long, fresh, very well made wine. (2011)"
92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2005 Doisy-Védrines was a very pleasant surprise, as I do not taste the wines from this property with anywhere near the frequency that I should, and both vintages that I was served at this tasting were excellent. The 2005 Doisy-Védrines offers up a complex, floral and very stylish nose of pear, orange, intense acacia blossoms, a touch of pastry cream, lovely soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep, young and impressively complex right out of the blocks, with a fine core of fruit, lovely balance and impressive length and grip on the finish. Based on this excellent wine and the fine showing of the 2002 at this same tasting, Doisy-Védrines is a property that I need to pay a lot more attention to in the future. An excellent example of the vintage. 2015-2050. (Sep/Oct 2009)"

94-96 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the vibrant, white peach and apricot finish. This is a wonderful Sauternes and one of their best wines in recent years. (Apr 2010)"
94-96 points Wine Enthusiast: "Great acidity here, but allied with considerable richness, there are flavors of orange marmalade, spicy tannins, a complex structure of very fresh fruits and dry botrytis. (Aug 2010)"
91-94 points Ian D'Agata (International Wine Cellar): "(80% semillon and 20% sauvignon; 13.7% alcohol; 138 g/l residual sugar)) Medium-deep, saturated orange-gold. Vibrant aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, passion fruit, rose water and ripe cantaloupe, with plenty of botrytis character. Enters the mouth juicy and fresh, displaying great depth to its pure flavors of orange, peach, tea leaf, cantaloupe and oatmeal. Very sweet, but with balancing acidity that is positively exhilarating. Finishes with lovely lingering smoky perfume. This is by far the best young Rabaud-Promis I recall tasting. (May 2010)"
90-93 points Wine Spectator: "Sliced pear and apple, with honey and spices. Full-bodied, with apple pie and honey flavors and a pretty finish. (2010)"
4 stars Decanter: "Muted apricot nose, quite oaky. Creamy, with ample mandarin fruit. Balanced. Good length. Drink: 2013-2025. Alc: 13%. (Jul 2012)"
