Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1985
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
A great wine of a late year. A drought never seen, one of the hottest years of the Century but a few days of fog early September helped the grapes that have been drying off to ripen
Tasting note:
Three very recent notes: in 2005 rich though maturing; distinctive bouquet; fascinating, with faint tongue-tingly pepperiness, perfectly well developed flavour and weight. Most recently: medium-deep, ripe mulberry, open, relaxed rim, long legs. Looks ready. Lovely, earthy, pebbly, 'warm tiles' Graves nose and flavour. Good tannin and acidity, though noting a touch of harshness. A lovely wine.. Last tasted Dec 2005 ***** Now - 2020. MB
