St Francis turned out seller Merlot's in 1985, both the regular and Reserve. This was the end of a mixed case of 6 of each. The 85 Reserve evolved beautifully. It had a dark ruby color. It exhibited lots of rich dark cherry, smokey chocolate scents and flavor.

RICH FRUIT, LICORICE, LEATHER, AND BELL PEPPER IN THE NOSE. VERY DISTINCTIVE MINT AND FRUIT FLAVORS. SHOWING COMPLEXITY. LONG FINISH. NOT AS RICH IN FLAVOR OR AROMA AS 12/89 TSTG (SCORE = 92)
