CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1982 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu. vts, slightly scuffed and nicked labels, slightly scuffed and corroded capsules, excellent color and clarityIn 2014, the sheer fireworks and complexity on the nose of this are staggering. Deep cassis predominates, with whiffs of a great Cohiba! Glorious fleshy, black fruit jam taste. Mouth-coating and rich. Long, ripe, round - and exciting. Profound, deep and still tannic - a wine of huge impact. In 2015 and from magnum, the tobacco notes were in the ascendant. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 1002 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
