From my memory I remember this wine still having great acidity and freshness, but was entirely dominated by botroytis as you would expect and didn't have any special character beyond that.

Lightly corked, especially the nose. In the mouth a balanced perhaps young wine that I drank although others at the dinner did not. Noteworthy that this is still available locally for around $50.

(Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon, Loire Valley) The 1985 displayed a deep golden color, the fruit evolving into notes of dried apricot, raisin, orange peel, and ginger. It showed the same lively acidity as the 1989 on a long finish, featuring a noteworthy mineral element. Winery Spotlight: Moulin Touchais

High levels of acidity. Almond / pastry notes. Dried fruit

So good for its value, the complexity of age though could have done with more complexity and structure.
