1985 CHÂTEAU LA LAGUNE 1985

(06-2002) Mid-crimson. Noticeable acidity and wet stones. Quite a bit of tannin. Correct but without any X factor for appeal. Spiny. Nothing outside the limits. Chewy finish.

(10-1994)

(01-1998) For whatever reason, this wine has always been loosely knit, exhibited less than stellar concentration, and an open-knit, commercial-like style. It possesses a moderately intense, sweet, red currant-scented nose intermingled with earth, herbs, and spice. On the palate, the wine begins well, but lacks the concentration and ripeness expected in a top estate in a very good vintage.
