Incredible depth of color rim to rim without variation. Inky. Showing slight brick under strong light. Nose of rye toast, tobacco, turned earth, black cherry, oak bark, crumbly roses, dried lavender, and sage. Descriptors do not do justice to the seamless whole of the smells, which are sewn together with espresso and bay leaf, allspice and forest notes. Smooth and silky tannins slip over medium mouthfeel of dried mushroom and graphite, re-emerge as round textural tapestries, filled with candle smoke, dark, rich cherry and ripe black currants. A stunner that needed days of exposure to fully emerge. Enticing and exquisite.

#1982 #ChateauLaMissionHautBrion #Graves #CruClasse This is by far the best bottle of wine I have ever had. So Layered, complex, powerful & youthful. Smoky dark fruit nose with Juicy Black Cherries & Blackberries, Cassis, Dark Plum, Salinity & Earthiness, Clove Spice, Tobacco... Layers of Flavors are endless & finish feels endless too. I wish the bottles of this were endless!! I will dream of this wine forever. 💭. Fun Facts: (this vintage was the last one produced by Woltner Family who had it since 1924). The estate was sold to the owners of #HautBrion in '83. 🍷🍷🍷👏 — 11 years ago

First tasted in a vertical at the chateau back in 2012. Clearly excellent vintage and I bought six bottles. Tasted in February 2015 and happily slow evolution, exhibiting light and clear lemon color. Clean lime, chamomile, floral aromas. Pronounced flavors include lime, stone fruit, a touch of smoky aspects. High acidity. Rather creamy texture. Lingering finish. 2010 is great for white Graves. Bravo to Latour-Martillac! #winelover #Bordeaux #Graves — 11 years ago
