Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1985
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Excellent appearance. Levels into neck
Tasting note: The 1985 Lafite is revealing more class and complexity than I predicted. A moderately intense, cedary, woody, herb and berry-scented bouquet is attractive. The wine is open-knit and ripe, with fine tannins, sweet, medium-bodied, mineral, and cassis-scented flavors, fine depth, and a graceful, harmonious feel. It is beginning to blossom and appears to possess more depth and character than I had thought. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2010. Last tasted, 6/93. 90 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 88 (Aug 1993)
