Score 74/100 · Drink 2002, Robert Parker, Feb 2002
This wine, which has never been enjoyable to drink, appears to be getting worse rather than better. A light ruby color displays considerable amber at the edge. The muted nose exhibits scents of animal fur, damp earth, mushrooms, and vague strawberry fruit. In the mouth, Montille has done the impossible - produced a high acid, tart, austere wine in a succulent, fleshy, opulently-styled vintage. This 1985 is going nowhere.
