Score 91/100 · Drink 2019-2032, Neal Martin, May 2019

The 1989 Filhot has a purer and more vigorous bouquet compared to the 1990 Filhot with scents of dried pineapple, crème caramel and a touch of white flowers. This is pretty and more complex than the succeeding Filhot. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, good levels of botrytis, lively and citrus-fresh with a viscous and engaging finish of mandarin and peach, traces of butterscotch on the aftertaste. Bon vin . Tasted at the vertical tasting at Château Filhot.

Score 86/100 · Drink 1994-2002, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

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. Last tasted 11/94
