Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1985
Talence (Graves), cru classé
In original wooden case
Levels: bottom neck or better; one with signs of seepage
"The 1985 is deliciously opulent, rich, and open-knit. The color is a dark ruby/purple with some garnet at the edge. The wine offers a sweet, smoky, melted road tar, black currant-scented nose with toasty oak in the background. It has put on weight as it has evolved in the bottle, and appears to be better than ever, with copious quantities of lush, jammy black fruits intermixed with the smoky, roasted character so prevalent in this appellation. The low acidity and loosely-knit, medium to full-bodied, fleshy character make for delicious drinking. Anticipated maturity: Now-2006. Last tasted 10/97." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
