What the critics say
88 WAWine Advocate, Robert Parker, 01-01-2003
This is the kind of wine that I bought at a high price, and every bottle I have tasted from a six-bottle allocation has been increasingly disappointing. The wine still has its admirers, particularly Michael Broadbent, who continues to find it virtually perfect. Either we have different palates or we are tasting different wine, but this wine now has a medium ruby color with considerable amber at the edge. The nose smells like fresh vegetable market, with spice box, celery seed, fennel all there, along with a hint of tobacco and Provencal herbs. There is sweet cherry fruit there, but the weediness dominates everything. In the mouth, the wine is light, medium-bodied, and fading. This is a wine to taste with the label clearly in front of you, to think of other Petrus vintages as opposed to what is in the 1985. Caveat emptor. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 11/02.
Drink 2003 to 2010

The 1985 Petrus has long been the most disappointing wine of this decade and this bottle does nothing to alter that conviction. Showing modest bricking, perhaps slightly paler in colour than I recall, the bouquet does nothing much. Static and to use a word I previously used – staid, like a teenager loafing around. The palate is fleshy on the entry as befitting a 1985 Right Bank and then it just loses interest and becomes a one-note Pomerol that is instantly forgettable and it doesn't really care. Here it is trumped by the 1986 Petrus born in a much poorer and more challenging growing season for the appellation. Tasted at the Petrus dinner at Hide restaurant in London.
Drink 2020 to 2028
