"Tasted 8 times since bottling with consistent notes. The 1985 is cast from the same mold as the 1982 and 1953 vintages. Forward, with a fabulously scented bouquet of toasty new oak and concentrated red and black fruits (especially black-cherries), it is rich, lush, long, and full-bodied. Already delicious, it should age beautifully . . ." Wine Advocate #95, Oct 1994 |
