harvested August 31 and aged in 30% new French oak

This is more restrained than exuberant

This is one of the best 1985s I have tasted from Sauternes

A more deeply pitched and slightly more complex nose offers up notes of dark pinot fruit

More austere and structured

Telmo Rodriguez, As Caborcas other_regions_australia harvested August 31 and agedThe nuanced, scented complexity is so impressive. It makes me think of a exceptional bojo with a touch of North Rhone. Grilled herbs and dried meat aromas plus expressive mineral, berry, sauerkraut and dried lychee notes. Such intensity on the palate, but its also ethereal, with lots of mossy berries and pepper dancing through the palate. Extremely long yet delicate and vulnerable. Only 1,950 bottles made. Drink or hold.
