A dazzling expression of Champagne

It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable

22% Merlot and the rest dollops of Cabernet Franc

but it should provide highly pleasurable drinking for at least another decade

and toasty barrique are found in this ripe

Filhot - 2005 (375ml) Size:375ml A dazzling expression of ChampagneTasted blind at the 10 Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Chteau Filhot has a simple pineapple and wax resin bouquet that needs just a little more precision. The palate is nicely balanced and straightforward, the acidity nicely judged, though just a tad conservative toward the finish. It represents a decent Sauternes that goes about its job with the minimum of fuss. Wine Advocate 86 points
