(12-1995) An open-knit, diffuse but delicious, fragrant wine, the 1982 Lascombe is low in acidity, and borders on being disjointed and overripe, but it still offers an expansive, flavorful mouthful of herb-tinged, berry fruit combined with scents of coffee, earth, and vanilla.
(11-1998) A bit tough, but good fruit. Dark ruby-colored, with an amber edge. Pretty blackberry and fresh fruit aromas, with a hint of earth. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a mineral, chalk finish.
