Lot #121. La Lagune 1985

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 93 JG.
"The 1985 Château La Lagune is a beautiful bottle of wine that has now reached its apogee of peak drinkability and offers up superb complexity and elegance. The refined bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of dark berries, cigar smoke, a complex base of La Lagune’s dark soil tones, a touch of chipotle pepper and a discreet base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and absolutely perfect in its balance, with excellent mid-palate depth, fine focus and grip, fleeting tannins and lovely length on the stylish and classy finish. This is a great, classic vintage for La Lagune that still has decades of life ahead of it." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Sep/Oct 2014, Issue #53
Provenance: The Autruche Cellar
Notes: Base neck, lightly scuffed, nicked capsule, lightly wine stained, nicked label.
