'85 La Croix-de-Gay - do I/don't I?

birdungyMember

I think I have bought (subject to confirmation of auction results) more than 1 case of this recently but have never tried this wine myself.

Parker rated it 85 back in '89 and WS gave it 91 in 1988 with notes about it being built for the 'long haul'. Of the '85's I've had, many were definitely going to drink for 20 yrs and are drinking beautifully now.

Does anyone have recent experience of this wine? Should I keep some or just flog it? I think I will keep some but may try to recoup some outlay to pay for other purchases.

Appreciating the feedback in advance...
