Description
This is a meaty, rustic, fleshy, warm nose that is verging on diffuse but manages to pull back from that, more open-knit and generous. The palate is fleshy and seductive with lovely ripe red-berried fruit, touches of cranberry, gravel and earth. It is well-knit on the rounded, lush finish, although not as complex as other 1985’s, not as vivacious and surprisingly rustic. Yet it still has great charm.
Drink now-2015. Tasted October 2008 Neal Martin Wine Journal 2009
