Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Talence (Graves), cru classé
Levels: base of neck or better; one slightly raised cork
"...An extraordinary effort that gets better with each tasting, this dark, murky, garnet/purple-colored 1982 exhibits a fabulously complex nose of hot bricks, asphalt, black fruits, tar, roast beef, and truffles, colossal concentration, super-richness, 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." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 129, 6/26/00
