Tried the Sauternes on my brand new dessert wine glasses and what a nice treat. The wine is straw-yellow in the glass and not as unctuous as I’m used to seeing in Sauternes. On the nose, there’s candied fruit, the typical honey and some ripe tropical fruit. In the mouth, the 2005 Chateau Filhot Sauternes is full-bodied with a deep sweetness and a very nice level of acidity.
90 points Wine Spectator.
Around $25 (375ml).
