M85 Many people thought flawed. Not as bad as the MG or Noval for me, and surprisingly poor in comparison with the Harvey's. 86 points

[Alex Bridgeman]

Bottled under the Martinez label. Mature red, 50% opaque. Burnt matches and black treacle on the nose, not attractive. Foul in the mouth. Bacterially spoiled? Not rated.

50% opacity, orange brown. Slightly sour nose, stewed. Not good on the palate. Possibly VA? Some kind of fault present.

Mz85. Darkish red, 70% opaque. Nose of bacterial yuck. WPS said corked; AHB said bacterial.
