1985: a good year
Vintage year review :
After a small blizzard than lasted more than 2 months, spring was quite good and summer hot, despite some hail-storms. September was sunny and dry. White wines are astonishing that particular year.
Tasting advice:
Drink it now or wait a little bit is the wine is in a good cellar.
