This sneaks up on you. Soft, silky red, with berry and cherry character, with an undercurrent of plums and currants. Full-bodied, yet refined and silky. Goes on for minutes on the palate. Best after 2010. 1,900 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator2003

Like most Magdelaines, this wine builds in increments rather than blasts from the glass. A worthy rival to the great 1998, the 2000 Magdelaine has a deep ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of mulberries, black currants, and jammy cherry notes intermixed with mineral, licorice, and a hint of subtle toast. This wine is sweet, expansive, and dense, with the gorgeous fruit hiding some relatively elevated tannin. The finish is long, and this classic needs a good to 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020. Apr 2003, www.robertparker.com
