Score 89/100 · Robert Parker

The 1970 has taken nearly 25 years to reach its plateau of maturity. It possesses an impressive dark garnet color with only slight amber at the edge, as well as a distinctive underbrush, earthy, currant and cherry-scented nose with plenty of minerals in the background. Powerful on the palate, with medium to full body, and gobs of spice, this meaty, fleshy, still tannic Magdelaine is unlikely to ever attain perfect harmony, but it provides a savory mouthful of complex claret. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 11/96 Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
