Every year I want to find positive things to say about Chateau Filhot but find myself unable to. Here, the 2013 seems to be missing concentration on the nose, which is marked by an odd adhesive aroma. Things improve from here. The palate is nicely balanced, so there is a good start. The acidity is well-judged, but it needs to muster more complexity and length on the finish to be really convincing.
