intense finish

finishing on a peppery note

It is strict but detailed even if not the most complex bouquet you will encounter in this vintage

Thick and dense and sturdy

Raymond Lafon other_regions_australia but manages to deliver -This is one of the best 1985s I have tasted from Sauternes. It is rich and full, and although there is a general absence of any botrytis, the quality of the fruit is impeccably high. There is plenty of citrusy, pear, peach, and apricot scented fruit backed up by some vague notes of roasted almonds. This is a delicious 1985 that should evolve gracefully. Anticipated maturity, Now 2002. Last tasted, 3 90.
