Badia a Coltibuono Sangioveto 1985

Sadly, this bottle had begun to turn ... a raisin nose and the fruit was pretty much gone... It happens...  Still would like to find a good bottle of this, but 1985 is really pushing the envelope for this wine. 

Have had much better luck with the 1990 and 1995 vintages..

Note the interesting and very simple early version of the 1985 label compared to the 1990 and later vintages...
