This is a total joy, and it always has been. In 2015, it has a really meaty/plummy nose - it comes out at you like a train, which is exciting! Great healthy red fruit on the palate, a feature of these lovely 1985s. Immensely satisfying and with a rich texture. Perfectly composed, as the very best Claret should be. Serena Sutcliffe, MW



4 bts and 1 mag (sc, cn)
