Château Lafite 1985 (1 DM)

Château Lafite 1985

Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

u. bn, slightly scuffed label, remnants of original tissue adhered to the front label, sign of old seepage

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
