Is this wine still good? 1982 Fleurie

A bottle recently fell into my hands--a 1982 Fleurie La Madone, Prosper Maufoux Burgundy. Does anyone think this can still be drinkable? The various vintage charts I have, both on paper and online, are divided on the subject.

It was stuck in the back of an upstairs small house bedroom closet in Cincinnati. The recipient doesn't drink, and received it as a present in

1985 or so. He put the bottle where he couldn't notice it.

If it had been ideally stored and produced by a top-flight producer, it could still be good. Under the circumstances, OTOH, it's likely to be swill at this point (but, as is often said here, won't kill you to try).
