Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséLot 450: u. 12bn, slightly bin-soiled labels, wines come from 2 importers, Lot 451: u. 11bn or into the neck, 1vts, slightly damp-stained owc, Lot 452: u. 11bn, 1vts, slightly corroded capsules, Lot 453: u. 10bn, 2vtsThis 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.
