Tom Cannavan
Lovely ruby/purple just tinged with brick red. Very pure cassis and cigar box nose, a hint of stalkiness. Pure streak of blackcurrant fruit on the palate with mouth filling tannins and medium to full body. Sophisticated, with great length and long, super-clean finish with fine, drying tannins and classy cigar box/cedar notes. Great depth, concentration and wonderfully integrated flavour elements.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Fully mature in the color, texture and nose, you find forest floor, herbs, cherry pipe tobacco and wet earth aromatics. Medium bodied, soft, silky, elegant and with a bit of dust in the tannins, the wine ends with cocoa powder and cassis. There is no reason to hold this wine any longer.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Proprietor Bruno Borie mentioned that this was a late vintage. They started to pick on 30th September, finishing on 11th October. He didn't have exact grape percentages for this year, but he thinks it is probably 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Pale to medium brick-brown colored, the 1985 Ducru-Beaucaillou slowly unfurls to reveal notes of Christmas pudding, dried cranberries and bouquet garni with nuances of cast iron pan, dusty soil and woodsmoke. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm, chewy backbone and oodles of freshness with a core of dried herbs and stewed tea and a slightly rustic finish.
Druvor
