The 1985 Lafite-Rothschild is only a modest success in the context of the vintage. Here, it is totally outclassed by the 1985 Las Cases. Light, slightly loose-knit red berry fruit on the nose is complemented by warm gravel and smoky aromas, though it lacks a bit of energy. The palate is nicely balanced, not powerful but focused, with adequate freshness. As mentioned in my previous tasting note, this has dispensed with some density in recent years, and if your expectations are modest, it remains enjoyable. Tasted at Hameau de Barbaron in Burgundy.

Fatter, rounder and less mineral than Hameau de Blagny across the road. Vines are less stressed as they can get water deep down — 5 years ago

I really liked this wine. Nice hints of pear and green apple but not too sweet. Better with fish than chicken. — 7 years ago
