The tannins and fruit are wound-up like a knot. Alluring violet and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied, compact in structure, with racy tannins and a long, fruity finish.
A terrific effort from Magdelaine, the 1995 possesses a saturated rubypurple color, and a sweet, kirsch, and black cherry-scented nose with notes of sexy toast and vanillin. The wine is ripe, rich, and full-bodied, with outstanding intensity, purity, and equilibrium. It is a beautiful, harmonious, long, surprisingly seductive and accessible Magdelaine that will have many admirers.
