Château Pétrus--Vintage 1985
Pomerol, cru exceptionnel
All lots are offered in cartons except Lot 341. Lot 340: Two slightly creased labels. Levels into neck. Lot 341: Three slightly corroded capsules. Two labels bin-soiled, one stained and one faded. Levels into neck. Lot 342: Excellent appearance. Levels into neck. Lot 343: Slightly discoloured capsules. Two slightly stained labels. Levels into neck
Tasting Note: From cask, the 1985 Petrus was splendid, close in quality to rivaling the 1982. The wine has medium ruby color with a hint of amber at the edge, an interesting coffee, creamy, chocolate, and black fruit-scented bouquet, deep, medium to full-bodied, concentrated flavors, and a moderately tannic, concentrated finish. Although excellent, it lacks the requisite flavor depth and richness to be considered outstanding. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #88 (Aug 1993)
