Historial Vintages of Haut-Brion
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac-Leognan, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Levels: eleven 2.5cms or better and one 3cms below base of corks. Lightly bin-soiled labels, two very lightly damaged and one lightly stained
"In contrast to the exotic La Mission Haut-Brion of the same vintage, the Haut-Brion was a bit more restrained and aromatically more pure. The nose showed blackcurrant fruit, a bit of lead pencil, some cedar and cigar-box aromas, and a hint of wood smoke - classic Bordeaux, really. On the palate the wine is very elegant, with fine-grained tannins, plenty of extract, but an emphasis on finesse rather than on power. Every bit the equal of the La Mission, but completely different wine." CC, July 2011
