The 1985 Brut Collection takes some time in the glass to finally open up. I love the way the 1985 turns burnished and vinous with air. Hazelnuts, ash, smoke and truffles are some of the nuances that flow from this rich, textured Collection. I have tasted the 1985 four times recently and this is one of the finer, fresher bottles I have sampled. Ideally the wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. This is Bottle N. 2052.

A full-bodied, muscular Champagne, still very fresh and complex. Hints at mushroom and sous-bois, spice and leather, with biscuit, coffee and citrus elements. The firm structure comes though on the finish, which remains fresh and smoky for minutes. Though this is rich, there's an austerity as well. Drink now through 2028.

Very rich, broad, mellow nose and then very much drier than expected on the palate. The palate suggests that the wine may have many years ahead of it, though the nose may always be more developed. Score: 18 - 19 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2005-2020 |
