Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Hedonistic power and structure showing great tailoring and balance.

Rating for France-Bordeaux-Saint-Julien: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: drink now<br/>

The 1985 admirably reflects the character of this charming vintage. Deep ruby, low in acidity, ripe, round, fruity, and precocious, this medium-bodied, supple wine is very tasty and displays the cedary, black currant fruit so common in the wines of St.-Julien.
