Score 18/20 · Drink 2000-2040, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2025

Full bottle 1,299 g.  Rich, glowing yellow-amber colour. Rich, toasty botrytis nose – still! Super-satisfying. Fills the palate with great tension between (not excessive) sweetness and acidity. Clean finish. Really lively wine – probably the best Filhot I have ever tasted, but then 1988 was a great vintage for Sauternes. Seriously appetising. (JR)

Score 88/100 · Drink 1994-2009, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1988 displayed a wonderfully pure, honeyed pineapple-scented nose, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors, fine underlying acidity, an earthiness that added to the wine's complexity, and a clean, rich, crisp finish. Drinkable now, it should continue to evolve gracefully for 10-15 years. Last tasted 11/94
