Pierre Rovani has raved about this wine in the past

Raymond Lafon other_regions Vibrant garnetThis is one of the best 1985s I have tasted from Sauternes. It is rich and full, and although there is a general absence of any botrytis, the quality of the fruit is impeccably high. There is plenty of citrusy, pear, peach, and apricot scented fruit backed up by some vague notes of roasted almonds. This is a delicious 1985 that should evolve gracefully. Anticipated maturity, Now 2002. Last tasted, 3 90.
