Lot #457. Filhot 1971

Description: Consists of 1 Half Bottle, 0.375L
Score: 93 JGWA.
"Very dark brown/orange colour is initially a little off-putting. But don’t worry; the wine’s fine. Alluring, deep, ripe exotic nose with hints of barley sugar. Sweet, smooth, focused nose of waxy tropical fruits, barley sugar and a lemony edge. The palate shows some raisiny, sweet richness and waxy, spicy, vanilla and lemon notes. Nice acid. A complex, harmonious wine with good poise. 1971 was a good vintage for Sauternes: the Yquem is excellent this year. Very good/excellent." Jamie Goode, WineAnorak.com, Mar 2005
Provenance: The Étalon Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $75
