1982 Laville Haut-Brion Graves Laville Haut-Brion, Bordeaux (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 1982 Laville Haut-Brion Graves, Laville Haut-Brion

The 1982 Laville-Haut-Brion Blanc is a superb wine that unfurls slowly in the decanter and glass to reveal a complex bouquet of waxy citrus and orchard fruits mingled with hints of lanolin, marzipan, vanilla pod, petrol and dried white flowers. Full-bodied, layered and textural, it's dense and concentrated, with bright acids, chalky structure and a long, bone-dry finish, it's a wine that has gone from strength to strength over the last decade. - William Kelley, Feb. 22
