Score 86/100 · Drink 1991-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Because of the lack of botrytis, the 1985 is a relatively straightforward, fruity, fat yet fresh-tasting Sauternes that would be ideal as an aperitif rather than served as a dessert wine. It will last for 10-15 years, but is best drunk within the next decade. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 3/91.
