Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1982
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In "HKDNP" import stamped original wooden cases
"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.
