"The 1985 Cos D'Estournel, a wine that is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot was aged in 100% new oak for the first time, is cast from the same mould as the 1982 and 1953 vintages.
It is forward, with a fabulously scented bouquet of toasty new oak and concentrated red fruit.
On the palate, it is very rich, lush, long and full-bodied". (Tasted approx.1987).
(95 Points).

A more recent tasting note of 1985 Cos D'Estournel from the professional wine taster Richard Jennings:-
"Bricking dark red violet color; appealing, sweet tobacco, salty plum, dried currant nose; tasty, mature, dried currant, tart plum, tobacco, anise palate, with firm, sweet tannins, has decades more to go; medium-plus finish".
(94+ Points).

A more recent tasting note on CellarTracker:-
"Consistent with my last note.
This wine is very graceful and balanced - plummy Cos fruit with classic earth/mineral tones and just a bit of Cos spice.
Choosing between vintages,'85 is currently superior to the '86 with a much more direct approach and clear personality".
