Wine Advocate
Reviewed December 1997Filhot, which prefers to tank rather than barrel ferment its wines, produced a 1990 that is clearly the best wine I have tasted from this estate. It exhibits gorgeously ripe, honeyed tropical fruit, an intense, medium to full-bodied personality, wonderful purity, fine acidity, plenty of botrytis, and a long, zesty finish. What makes this wine so appealing is its combination of richness, crisp acidity, liveliness, and zestiness. Last tasted 11/94 (RP)

Balanced 1990. Pretty aromas of lemon rind, honey and flowers. Full- to medium-bodied, medium sweet, with lots of toasted coconut, honey and ripe fruit.--1990 Bordeaux retrospective. (JS)
