December 6, 2023 - Tasted blind. Unmistakable Payillac nose of dried parsley and thyme, pencil shavings. Quite soft tannins, classic claret, notes of ink and tobacco.

December 2, 2023 - This was a super fun roller coaster. Opened up firing out the gate at a 95/96 point scale. The opposite of last time where the bottle was quite green and needed to integrate. Then it started to fade. The 83 next to it was eclipsing it. Thankfully the night lived on after dinner and I took the rest of this bottle to the hotel. Wow, it not only got a second wind but reached new higher levels. Maybe even a 98 at this point. I love 1985 wines in general and this showed why.

November 18, 2023 - Aromatic, floral and delicious aromas with leather and some foxy notes. Soft, rich and concentrated on the palate. More power here than I expected. On its peak now, I guess.
