Wine on the decline.

Comment on the vintage and the
1985 harvest
Harvesting of what were beautifully ripe grapes began on 10 October.
It was a sun-blessed year, with a splendid late autumn, producing velvety, supple and fleshy wine.
The wines of the vintage were characterised by a very marked aroma of sweet pepper. |
