The deep ruby colour is just beginning to unfold fully. The powerful, complex nose reveals both youthful and mature aromas, with notes of ripe berries, liquorice, caramel and delicate hints of violet. On the palate, the wine is round, supple and fruity, with a velvety texture and smooth, perfectly integrated tannins. The figs stand out for their richness, and the finish is warm and soft, marked by dense, slightly jammy fruit. 18.5/20 Jancis Robinson ; 95/100 Wine Advocate, R. Parker.

Technique

Viticulture

The 1985 vintage was preceded by a particularly dry and cold winter. Bud-break occurred at the beginning of April, followed by flowering towards the end of May. After a generally warm summer, the harvest began on 26 September, revealing from the outset an exceptional year for Port wines.

Oenology

After the harvest, these wines are selected by the estate's panel of tasters, then matured in oak tuns for two winters. They are then tasted again the following spring. If their quality proves exceptional, they are retained for the final blend.

Suggestions for accompaniment

To be drunk after a few years of ageing with a jugged hare, a stilton, a dark chocolate dessert or to accompany a cigar.
