This wine was drinkable when released and has managed to hang on to much of its fruit. It is not going to improve, and is best consumed over the next several years. Round and supple, with light amber at the edge, this loosely built wine exhibits some of the ripeness of the vintage, slightly above average depth, and easy-going, simple flavors and finish. Never impressive (the 1983 is significantly better), the 1982 d'Angludet is a wine to drink up . Tasted 4 times after bottling with inconsistent tasting notes.
