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. Drink it over the next 4-5 years . Tasted 4 times since bottling with consistent notes.
