Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé
u. 4bn, 1vts, 4ts, slightly wrinkled and scuffed labels, corroded capsules

This is consistently beautiful at every showing. In 2018, it has a perfume of a Provençal herb garden and the best Havanas. On the palate, there are wild cherries with smoky cassis. The tannins are now soft, but the structure, as ever, is present as well as the verve. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
