Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Lot 1256: Slightly torn labels. Good levels. Lot 1257 to 1259: Very good appearance and levels
Tasting Note: This was one of the best showings yet for this wine, which, to my palate and mind, has never lived up to its early potential. In this tasting, the 1982 revealed a healthy dark ruby color with lightening at the edge. Intense, persistent aromas of saddle leather, roasted herbs, scorched earth, and sweet black currant fruit were followed by complex flavors of minerals, spice box, and cedar. Although this medium-bodied, fleshy, ripe, concentrated wine is not a blockbuster, as it unfolds, it reveals layers of flavor in addition to this vineyard's tell-tale complexity.
