Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Bin-soiled, damp-affected, damaged and faded labels
Tasting Note: 12,000 cases made, far fewer than any other 1er cru classés. Almost as many notes. So different in style, so good - and a totally different cépages mix, roughly 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, on the deep Pessac soil. At Penning-Roswell's '10-year' first growth tastings, I have always insisted on serving the Haut-Brion first as it is so distinctive, as on this occasion, and , although good, it got my lowest mark.Most recently: a glowing, mature, tile-red; sweet, now very soft, rich, complete. Tannin assimilated. Last noted at the MW Haut-Brion tasting, Jan 2000 ***** Superb M.B.
