CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD 1985

Wine 1985 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

The 1985 vintage benefited from the same climatic conditions as the 1982 vintage. Thanks to continuous sunshine from July to September, the skin of the berries was able to thicken and the tannins were condensed and supple. Château Lafite Rothschild 1985 is a complete, velvety and very bouqueted wine. The 1985 vintage is an exceptional one. The 1985 wines are still different from the 1982 wines, with a more pronounced elegance.

Falstaff January - 2010
Falstaff
Dark, vibrant ruby ??garnet with violet reflections, delicate lightening at the edges. A little reserved on the nose, delicate hints of dried plums, spices, sweet cherries, fine chocolate caramel, underlined with a hint of graphite and cedar wood. Fine plum confit on the palate, balanced and highly elegant, a wine full of charm, has reached the perfect drinking maturity, appears fresh and seductive, a timeless Lafite classic that doesn't have an ounce of fat too much on the bones.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Light, tart, short, cranberries, and cassis with loads of pyrazine notes, spice, and assorted, greenery. There is a sense of rustic class and soft tannins, which helps the score a bit, but this is not my favorite vintage of Lafite. And no, time is not going to improve this wine. It is already close to 40 years of age. Drink from 2024-2034.

A graceful wine with cedar, berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a succulent, sweet fruit finish. Delicious to drink now.Cabernet Challenge. (JS)

Very impressive and absolutely at its peak. Juicy and mineral with a sweet, rich nose. Neat and well balanced with no excess of tannins. Really lively. Firm, salty and savoury. This is one of those Lafites that dances on the palate. Great balance. Bravo!

Comment Château: 1985 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, 1er cru classe, Pauillac The year 1985 marks the return set fair. The same weather conditions in 1982, namely a sun continuously from July to September, produced similar results: the thick-skinned grapes, condensed tannins and supple, with vibrant flavors. The grapes have produced wines full, velvety, very bouquets and even a bit more elegant than the 1982. The ideal time of September 1985 was an exceptional vintage, citing the same 1953 Medoc! Delicious from his youth, it should be appreciated rapidly as they age gracefully. Comments from the Castle: The 1985 vintage marks the return of Constant beautiful weather. The same climate conditions as in 1982, continuous sun from July to September produced similar results: thick skinned bunch, supple and condensed tannins, and aromas bursting. The grapes gave us whole, velvety, wines with a big bouquet, even a bit more elegant than the 1982. The ideal weather in September made 1985 an exceptional vintage, evoking even the Medoc in 1953! Delicious even in its youth, it should be quickly appreciated while aging with grace.
