Not surprisingly, the garnet-colored 1985 Batailley has the ripeness of the vintage well displayed in the sweet currant/cherry aromas and flavors, but also carries the Batailley firmness and tannic austerity. Approaching full maturity, it is well made, reserved, and elegant. Anticipated maturity: now-2007. Last tasted, 3/97.
