Description

Glass too dark to see levels, 2 neck seals stained, otherwise good appearance.

Saturated black-garnet. Rich, broad and deep nose of fig, prune, dried blackberries and spice, with an overtone of schisty minerality. Voluptuous and rich, with all the depth of crème de cassis to match the still-firm, fine tannins. A beauty of a 1985, built to last. (TJ) Tim Jackson MW (September 2020) JancisRobinson.com

 

This superb collection is part of the estate of a passionate wine lover who generously shared his knowledge and bottles with family and friends. Acquired over the past two decades from well-respected UK merchants, the collection brims with wines both for current drinking and future enjoyment: Claret, Sauternes, Rhone and Tuscan wines were particular favourites, not forgetting New World regions and fabulous Vintage Ports. All lots were meticulously stored in a temperature-controlled cellar in an imposing Bath stone townhouse and recently packed by Bid for Wine before transfer to LCB.
