Description

Château Haut Brion 1982

Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé

u. 8x3cm, 1x3.5cm, rest good levels, 11 labels slightly marked and worn along bottom edge by case dividers of which 6 slightly soiled, 1 slightly wrinkled, 5 soiled and stained, capsules slightly worn, 5 showing slight signs of corrosion, 1 corroded on top

In 2014, leather and smoke on the nose, incredibly spicy and full of aniseed. On the palate, an extraordinary chocolate taste, with a touch of cooked peppers. The tannins melt in the mouth, all iron and velvet. Utterly seductive.
