Chateau Haut-Brion 1982 is an exceptional Bordeaux wine that represents the pinnacle of winemaking from one of the region's most renowned estates. It has a deep ruby color with hints of purple at the rim, indicating its youthfulness and excellent potential for aging. On the nose, Chateau Haut-Brion 1982 reveals a complex bouquet of dark fruit, cassis, black cherry, and tobacco, with nuances of leather, cedar, and truffle adding to its aromatic depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with rich, opulent flavors of ripe black fruit, spice, and earth, supported by velvety tannins that provide structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, with flavors of dark fruit and spice that linger on the palate, showcasing the wine's impressive depth and complexity. Chateau Haut-Brion 1982 is a wine of exceptional quality, displaying the elegance, finesse, and power that is characteristic of the finest Bordeaux wines.


Robert Parker - 96 Points

"Supple and enveloping, the 1982 Haut-Brion is drinking brilliantly today, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries and plums, tobacco leaf, cedar box, scorched earth, cigar smoke and walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, broad and sensual, it's fleshy and giving, with a rich core of fruit, melting tannins and a long, resonant finish. At age 40, this is the most charming of the 1982 first growths, yet despite its outgoing personality, it seems to gain in stature with every passing year."


Antonio Galloni - 98 Points

"It is time that the 1982 Haut-Brion got the respect it deserves. Forever deemed the "least" of the First Growth, that holds no water if this example is anything to go by, the best of a couple of dozen bottles encountered over many years. Amazingly-fresh on the nose, this shimmers with red fruit, black olive, meat juices and incense, gaining vigour with each swirl of the glass. The palate is perfectly balanced with a lovely line of acidity, focused and refined with just a slightly roasted character towards the finish. Harmonious and effortless, it is the kind of claret that leaves you grinning like a Cheshire cat. Tasted at the 1982 Dinner at Hatched.  "
