Filhot 2019 (375ML)

93-95 WA / 88-90 VM

Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2019 Filhot leaps from the glass with wonderfully pure notes of lime cordial, lemon meringue pie and orange blossoms with a spicy undercurrent of fresh ginger, coriander seed and allspice. The palate delivers a beautiful satiny texture with loads of honeyed citrus fruit layers and an invigorating line of freshness, finishing long with a seriously spicy kick. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The 2019 Filhot has a light bouquet with honeysuckle and linseed aromas, perhaps just missing the energy and intensity of the best Sauternes. The palate is actually better than the nose suggests with admirable purity, well balanced and with a fresh, viscous finish of pineapple and peach. I just hope that the aromatics take a leaf out of the palate's book and improves during élevage. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
