This has a wonderful presence. Perhaps the finest wine ever produced by this estate. Velvety, plummy, minty character. full-bodied with full silky tannins. Finesse all the way. Better after 1998.--The Bordeaux 50.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1994
Wine Spectator Score: 93/100
The 1985 Duhart is a fine, medium-bodied wine that is showing slightly less intensity from the bottle than from cask. Medium deep ruby, with an open-knit, spicy oak, curranty bouquet, elegant and stylish, the 1985 could use more depth, but for drinking over the next decade, it is a fine choice. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 2/89. Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
