1969 Wine and Port Vintage

Sauternes 2eme Cru Classe
Sweet White Wine

This 1969 Chateau Filhot wine comes from the famous Sauternes area near Bordeaux, France. The wines of Sauternes are sweet but also fine and delicate. Their bouquet develops very well with ageing, becoming rich and complex, with crystallized orange, marmalade, hazelnut and honey notes with good acidity that offers excellent balance against the sweetness of the wine. This is a remarkably good wine for a bottle of such age.

The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present. Cherries on the palate too. Nice finish. Great food wine. Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.
