Château Margaux - Margaux 1985

Après un début d'année assez frais et tardif, ce millésime a été marqué par des conditions de maturation et de récolte très favorables, notamment les mois de septembre et d'octobre exceptionnellement chauds et secs. Les feuilles de la vigne ont refusé de tomber jusque tard dans le mois de novembre... Cet « été indien » reste dans toutes les mémoires. (Vendanges le 26 septembre)

If not the greatest wine of the decade, then one of the most pleasurable. A sublime not of red-berried fruits, fig, red cherry, black truffle and cedar. The palate is utterly harmonious, not a rough edge in sight, cashmere tannins, extraordinarily pure and sensuous. Effortless. A wine surfeit with panache. Drink now-2015+ Tasted October 2008.

Mittleres Granat, wenig Reife, leuchtendes Rubin am Rand. Schlankes, filigranes BOuquet, rote Beeren, frisch, feine Wachsnote, immer noch Vanillin zeigend und parfümiert im Ansatz. Saftiger, feiner Gaumen, seidige Tannine, superbe Balance, lang und mit einer beschwingten Nonchalance, wie ein wunderbares Margaux-Parfüm endend.

Ce vin, qui approche de son apogée, se distingue par une merveilleuse douceur. D’un prune-pourpre dense, doté d’un nez ample et doux aux notes de cassis nuancées de réglisse, de grillé, de sous-bois et de fleurs, il se développe en bouche par palier et avec ampleur, révélant, outre un caractère moyennement corsé et des tannins souples, un fruité charnu, séveux, juteux et savoureux. Ce vin velouté atteint son apogée. A boire jusqu’en 2015.

While not as powerful and concentrated as the 1986, 1983, or 1982, the 1985 Margaux is more charming and, at present, more complex than those more backward vintages. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple. The seductive nose offers copious quantities of lavishly ripe black berry and cassis fruit intermixed with toasty oak and floral scents. This rich, expansive, and velvety-textured wine has developed more length, and additional flavor dimensions over the last several years. It has always been a remarkably approachable and enjoyable wine, but it appears to be taking on more character and quality than I ever imagined. It is one of the most delicious and seductively opulent Margauxs of the last two decades. I consistently underestimated this wine when young. It gets better every time I re-taste it, which happens with increasing frequency. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 10/97. Guide Parker

Still closed and not giving much. Full-bodied and very chunky with impressive black truffle and currant aromas and flavors and velvety, chewy tannins. It's still slightly one-dimensional; better after 2000.--Cabernet Challenge.

The 1985 Margaux continues to age well and can be drunk with great pleasure. It is a lovely, seductive, medium-bodied wine with a gorgeous bouquet of toasty new oak, berry fruit, and violets. Rich, concentrated, supple, elegant, and graceful, the 1985 Margaux has turned out to be a beautiful wine that will evolve for at least another 15 or more years. Remarkably approachable and enjoyable to drink, for the next decade it will provide considerably more pleasure than the more ballyhooed and backward trio of 1986, 1983, and 1982. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 6/93.

92 / 100

par Robert Parker le 01/12/1992

Last Tasted 6/92 It appears I originally under-rated this vintage of Chateau Margaux, which is displaying more character, charm, and complexity than I first thought. The color remains a healthy dark ruby/purple, and the nose offers plenty of vanillin smoky new oak, as well as cassis and an intriguing floral component. In the mouth, the wine is medium-bodied with the tannins beginning to melt away. There are gorgeous levels of sweet black fruits, low acidity, and a long, lush finish. Not as forward as the 1985 Mouton-Rothschild, this wine is, however, evolving into a more interesting and complex example of Margaux than I initially expected. Anticipated maturity: 1995-2010.
