CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1982 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu.7bn, 4vts, 1ts, wines come from 2 different importers, slightly scuffed labels and capsules, 3 nicked and corroded capsules, 3 slightly raised corks, excellent color and clarityThis 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 WA 10012 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
