Reviews: "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." PArker, Wine Advocate 1994

"I cannot believe that a decade has past since I last had this wine. It has a deep garnet colour, followed by a gorgeous, savoury nose with touches of wet clay and dark chocolate. I am quite smitten by its sense of “inviting warmth”. Coming back a few minutes later there is a faint touch of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced, perhaps a little rustic compared to recent vintages but certainly feminine and silky on the finish. Not in the same league as recent vintages but a compelling marriage of Saint Estephe earthiness and the growing season’s corpulence. Drinking well now, but I cannot see the end of the plateau just yet!" Neil Marting Wine Journal Tasted 2008.
