Re: 1985 Dow
D85. Red, 40% opaque. Initially hot and dry, with and intriguing floral perfume. It improved during the evening, unlike its elder sister.

Dark red. Flowery on the nose. Really very dry and quite short. Apricots, dried fruits.

Sourced from Seckford Wines. Rich red colour, with a rose rim; 30% opaque. Rich and sweet on the nose, generous levels of fruit but with a streak of rhubarb in the mox. Little on the initial palate, dry and softly tannic; very restrained and reluctant to show anything. Eventually some sweetend redcurrant on the palate. the aftertaste and finish is big, dry and fruity with bramble and a green herbaceous core. Pleasant, but needing more time. 88/100. 02-Apr-13. Decanted 9½ hours.
