Unmistakable in its obesity

ripe acids and a sapid

While certainly extremely pretty

warm earth and violets

There is good volume but also fine delineation to the delicious and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors

Raymond Lafon other_regions_italy Unmistakable in its obesityThis 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.
