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

The lightish, somewhat shallow 1985, while charming and fruity, lacks grip and depth, particularly for a classified growth. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/90.

Ripe and supple with sweet oak, cedar and plum flavors that are elegant, bu t not especially deep. The tannins are gentle and it's well balanced. Wine Spectator 1988
