1982 Magdelaine

Beginning to fade, this 1982 needs to be drunk up. A garnet color with considerable amber at the edge is followed by weedy, cherry scents intermixed with loamy soil, incense, and underbrush-like undertones. The fruit has begun to dry out in this medium-bodied wine, which is dominated by acidity and tannin. The aromatics offer more value than the flavors. Drink it up.
