Estimate
...one of the most stunning wines of my 1985 tastings... all the elements of great Cabernet... a sensationally opaque purple color, a huge, smoky, vanillin, wonderfully ripe cassis-scented nose... lavishly rich, opulent, velvety-textured...
Loaded with chocolate, butter, oak and plum flavors that are evenly layered and elegant in style. Almost drinkable now with it's supple tannins and fruity charm, but it has the tannins and acidity to carry it another decade, maybe longer
