Reduced to clear, what an apparent bargain. Amber-yellow. Fairly pleasant nose but with something high and unfortunately reminiscent of amyl nitrite. Again the taste is a bit odd - there's something nice in there, but it's tinged with inedible aromas. Varnish? It finishes short, which is for the best. Not great, and not what I'd expect of Filhot, but probably explains the price. Worth a try! [Natural cork; 13.5% abv; Marks & Spencer, reduced to clear @ £9].

A limited edition bottling for Marks & Spencer in the UK. Fresh peach and apricot, flaked almonds and marzipan. Very cloying, simple and sweet. Almost no discernible acidity which would have made it more lively. There's also an unpleasant clinical, antiseptic character on the finish. Disappointing sadly **

果脯,蜂蜜,麦秆(差点就说草席哈哈哈),略微的杏仁坚果,兼具果实的成熟和酒的年轻活力,还可以在陈年下继续发展
