Parker about Château Filhot (0.375L) 1989
The thick, very sweet, slightly heavy 1989 appears to be maturing at a fast pace. If drunk over the next 5-8 years it will provide an uncomplicated mouthful of sweet, candied fruit.

Château Filhot (0.375L) 1989

The 1989 Château Filhot is a classic Sauternes that beautifully balances its maturity and elegant sweetness. Luminous in a rich golden hue, this vintage exudes complex aromas of ripe peach, dried apricot, honey, and delicate floral nuances, emphasizing its lush, aromatic depth.
On the palate, the 1989 Filhot unfolds a silky-smooth texture with lively acidity that beautifully complements its sweetness and provides freshness. The aromas of candied citrus fruits, pineapple, and subtle spice notes emerge with full elegance, underscored by a hint of vanilla, reflecting the barrel aging. The finish is long and rich, leaving a lasting impression of sweet fruit and gentle minerality.
The Château Filhot 1989 is a wonderfully mature Sauternes that goes perfectly with foie gras, fine desserts or mature cheeses and has the potential to gain even more depth and expressiveness with further aging.
