Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"""... 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."" Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #129 (Jun 2000)
