First of an OWC of Mz85 yesterday brought by the husband from England. Immediately after decanting, the nose is tart raspberries, tastes of cranberries and a hint of licorice. Hot, and lots of alcohol.

Lovely red, 80% opaque. When I started, at about D+1½h, a hint of roughness, but by D+3h that’s gone. Medium-dry, with red fruit: cranberry, slightly more than medium weight, and good length. Excellent value at £20 a bottle though lugging a case off a broken-down FCC train and up the stairs at Farringdon wasn’t trivial. Eminently quaffable. Would go very well with food steak especially.

Also see thread Markings on an OWC of Martinez 1985.

Note to self: SCP-DFF not too impressed with Mz85. Take something better on next trip to Paris.
