Robert Parker (91)

Fully mature, the dark garnet-colored 1985 exhibits notes of tapenade, earth, sweet berry and black currant fruit, and possibly a hint of black truffles. The wine is lush, medium to full-bodied, and fleshy, with no hard edges. Sweet fruit, plenty of glycerin, and a very seductive style make for a very sumptuous, complex, fully mature Gruaud-Larose.

A lovely Gruaud but not as great as expected. No nonsense '85 with spicy cedar, tobacco flavors, medium-to-full body, medium tannins and a rather short finish.
