Score 84/100 · Drink 1990-2001, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Normally the 1985 Sauternes are less impressive than the 1986s, but La Tour Blanche's 1985 comes across as more concentrated, with greater intensity and length than the 1986. Nevertheless, there is still a glaring lack of complexity and botrytis. Anticipated maturity: Now-2001. Last tasted, 3/90.
