  Another enchanting bottle of this, the 85 Canon is just purring with maturity, complexity and old school energy. A tertiary bouquet of saddle leather, tobacco, soil and zesty-minty scents. The palate is more energetic than the nose, silky and rounded, with near perfect measures of brightness, fruit and structure. Overall, a more elegant, pretty presentation than bold (like most 85s), but not lacking in substance and length. Love it. 93 pt bouquet, 95 pt palate.

  Not a bottle I would hang on to, as the fruit seems to be fading. Better on the dried flower, tobacco, and red plum nose, than on the medium-bodied, soft, vibrant, silky, but, light, red berry palate. Drink from 2023-2025.

  1985 Bordeaux Horizontal - London (Noizé, London): This is a little understated to begin with, there is some plumb fruit. Later some fraise de bois too. The palate is compact but all in proportion with some some subtle spice complementing the red fruit core. With some time in the glass there is a little fudgy sweetness to the nose and hint of lavender. Not flawed to my palate, just a wine that might have been better a few years back.

  Still in great shape with everything in place for a mature Bdx, will last but should be drank within a few years..

  Base neck fill. Lots of mold on cork but came out easily. Double decanted. Pretty color, not too much bricking. This bottle was in great shape. Nose is really nice with cedar, tobacco, etc. The palate has pretty cherry notes and earth. Really nice.
