Last of six bottles I have drunk over the past three years. Other than one so so showing all have been very good wines, still with a decent combination of acidity and fruit holding things together. A nice drink for the price.

The bottle was a leaker and there was something off about it. Good color, profound nose, flowery finish, but the small CO2 for the first 30 mins were unsettling.

From a good looking bottle, this wine had a red center and tawny rims. The high- intensity nose offered black cherries, plums, red fruits, and soil.
medium bodied with moderate rounded tannin & acidity, this wine had a nice finish. While not particularly complex, this wine had a nice sour cherry twang that would impress all except the most jaded Burg-hounds.
Jadot nailed it in 1985 (as well as 1990). This wine appears to be in the middle of its drinking window. However, it should hold for a number of years. Enjoy.

Impressive for an 1985 and a vineyard with limited coverage. Still shows intensity although peak was a few years ago. Earthy, sweet fruit, smoky, cherry, cocoa, excellent acity and finish. Rated 92 given how drinking at this point. Recommend.
