Description

"This is a great Pichon-Lalande wallowing in its maturity.Here,it retains that enticing tobacco-infused nose with leather and a touch of thyme,the palate beautifully balanced with tarry black fruit,vibrant acidity,mellow and supple,with a touch of game coming through.Supple with firm tannins marrying naturally on the finish that has the texture (though not alcohol!) of a tawny port.Drink now-2018".
(94 Points).

Neal Martin. (The Wine Journal. September 2010).


"Quite ripe,with flavors of plum cake,warm pain d'epices,mint,Christmas pudding and fruitcake,embedded in mulled currant and fig fruit.Offers a long coffee-tinged finish,alluring ripeness and an easy structure,Drink now through 2025".
(92 points).

Wine Spectator. (Non-blind Pichon-Lalande vertical tasting. July 2014).


"The 1985 is to me the "modern" version of the 1953 as a vintage.A beautiful vintage that lives on impeccable balance and charm rather than power.I more and more start to prefer the 1985s to 1982s and 1986s on the whole.And similarly to the 1953s it will age better than most people are aware of,balance being much more important than alcohol,concentration and power".
