Tasting notes
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

About the producer

After 50 years under the direction of the Lichine family, this leading Margaux estate entered a new chapter in 1999 when négociant Ballande took the reins, continuing the property’s previous upward trajectory.
