1985 Martinez

Post by winesecretary »

P'n'decant'n'pour, but given 30 mins to open out in glass.

A pale-rimmed 45% opaque red juice.

Nose deeply redolent of slightly confected figs. Very attractive.

South African plum compote with cinnamon and a hint of star anise on the palate.

Really nothing much left in the way of tannin. The plum compote all the way to the finish.

As previously, fully mature, and it's time to drink it, but a pleasure over the next three or four years.
