The disappointing 1984 vintage was not produced, but the 1985 San Leonardo represents the first standout year for this historic wine. You can taste the warm sunshine of the vintage thirty years after the fact. It opens to a richer, more immediate style with impressive fruit integrity and plush layers of dried cherry, sweet plum, tobacco and spice box. The nose on the bottle I tasted was not impeccable in terms of cleanliness, although the wine performed well on all other levels. The mouthfeel is fuller with polished tannins and a touch of lingering sweetness that comes as a nice surprise. The 1985 vintage is fast reaching the end of its drinking window. After my tasting, only two bottles of the 1985 vintage remain in the cellars today.
