Tasted at the Château Palmer vertical in London, the 1985 Château Palmer was clearly a favourite amongst the participants in the tasting, although here I actually concur with Robert Parker - it's a pleasant Margaux, but not the most complex wine of the vintage. You get the feeling that it doesn't fire on all cylinders. It has an appealing bacon fact and savory bouquet - a little smudged, but full of charm. The palate is fleshy on the entry, perhaps here with a touch of brettanomyces, the acidity nicely judged with expressive Merlot defining the finish. It does not "take off" as the greatest 1985s are wont to do, yet you would contentedly polish off a bottle, seduced by its easy-going nature. Tasted May 2015.

The 1985 Palmer replicates the bottle poured at the vertical a couple of years earlier. It has a very fragrant, quintessentially Margaux-like bouquet with redcurrant, raspberry, cedar and rosemary sporting fine delineation and vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There is a brightness to this Palmer that I really appreciate, making this a less concentrated yet more transparent wine with elegance from start to finish. That tincture of Earl Grey just pops its head around the corner to say "Hello" after 30 minutes. Wonderful. Tasted at the 1985 dinner at Noble Rot Mayfair.
