Tasted at Pebbles/Zachy’s 1982 dinner in Hong Kong. Comparing the Haut Brion ’82 directly against La Mission and La Tour Haut-Brion ’82, it is clear that the aromatics are here the most subtle and complex with scents of red fruit, autumn leaves, black truffle and bay leaf, all with immense clarity and poise. The palate is defined by its filigree tannins, an otherworldly symmetry and sedateness that perhaps make this the most drinkable for First Growths from this haloed vintage. Hints of melted tar and tobacco become more pronounced towards the finish that might not have the chutzpah of the La Mission but is simple…class. Tasted November 2012.
