Château Haut-Brion, Blanc--Vintage 1985
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
In original wooden case, lid missing. Slightly bin-soiled labels, slightly stained. Levels 3cms below base of corks
Tasting note: This has been a head turner since it was made. The 1985 is unbelievably rich, with a velvety, fat consistency oozing with herb, melon, and fig-like fruit. This voluptuously textured wine exhibits great length, richness, and character. It never closed up after bottling and remains an exceptionally full-bodied, intensely concentrated, yet well-delineated white Graves. If you have the income of a rock superstar, this would be worth having to fete the turn of the century. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020. Last tasted, 1/97. Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1. Jan 1998.
