Very deeply coloured. Black core. Rich dark damsons, touch of smoky baked dark fruit and meatiness. Still a touch of violets. Very dark savoury fruit, like dark toffee but with a strong pepper on the palate. Dense but powder-fine tannins and they lighten beautifully on the finish. Lovely dry finish and paper soft after all that depth and dark ripe fruit. Drink 20152030 (Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com)
Vintage Report: In spite of the great heat the vineyards looked everywhere remarkably green and fresh, due of course to the very wet winter and spring. Never can the grapes have been gathered under better weather conditions than this 1985 vintage now in its last stages. Since early September we have enjoyed unbroken summer-like weather with only one night of rain, which hardly laid the dust! The overall quality of the 1985 Vintage will surely prove outstanding. Michael Symington, Douro, October 1985
