Wykorzystując fotkę z Gazetta d San Leonardo w której markizowie Guerrieri de Gonzague (wojownicy Gonzagów) chwalą się opinią Jancis Robinson: "I find it difficult to think of any wine anywhere that has changed as little over the last 30 years as San Leonardo, surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of northern Italy. Verticals of even Bordeaux's first growths since 1982 tend to show the influence of different management regimes and the whim of winemaking fashion. But San Leonardo seems to have hit its stride very early on in its life, which began in a modest way with the trial 1982 vintage and, even more miraculously, to have subsequently remained immune to the winds of fashion". Dobrze ma ta Jancis. Popróbowała sobie od rocznika 1982 do 2006 (pralinka) i wyszło na to, że In this complete run of vintages from 1982 to 2006 (no San Leonardo was made in 1984, 1989, 1992, 1998 and 2002) there was the most remarkable consistency. Even if 1982 is now a bit past it, the 1994 a bit too weak to enjoy, and vintages 2001, 2005 and 2006 still a bit too young to think of broaching, they all share the most admirable blend of subtlety, balance, finesse and (positive) restraint. Natomiast zafascynował ją jak zwykle, jak każdego semi-diesel Landini, o traktorze mowa, z początku poprzedniego wieku.
