1982 La Mission Haut Brion An extraordinary effort that gets better with each tasting this dark murky garnet/purple-colored 1982 exhibits a fabulously complex nose of hot bricks asphalt black fruits tar roast beef and truffles colossal concentration super-ripeness an unctuous texture and low acidity. While still exceptionally youthful this wine is powerful dense large-scaled and intense. It is evolving at a snail's pace but should continue to improve for another 10-15 years and last for another three decades. A candidate for perfection! RP
