Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Not in original wooden case. Two slightly damaged capsules. Integrated U.S.A. slip labels have been removed from the base of three labels. One slightly damaged label. Levels: ten into neck, one base of neck, one top-shoulder
Tasting note: An extraordinary effort that gets better with each tasting, this dark, murky, garnet/purple-coloured 1982 exhibits a fabulously complex nose of hot bricks, asphalt, black fruits, tar, roast beef, and truffles, colossal concentration, super-ripeness, an unctuous texture, and low acidity. While still exceptionally youthful, this wine is powerful, dense, large-scaled, and intense. It is evolving at a snail's pace, but should continue to improve for another 10-15 years, and last for another three decades. A candidate for perfection! 99 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 129 (June 2000)
