Score 86/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1985 Grand-Puy-Ducasse is a textbook Pauillac, not a blockbuster in any manner, but a cedary, spicy, fragrant wine with fine depth, a supple texture, some fatness and flesh, as well as a smooth, graceful finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/90.
