Chteau Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1962
Pauillac, 1er cru class. Chteau-bottled
Lot 164 bin-soiled labels, one torn. Levels very top-shoulder. Lot 165 one capsule corroded. Bin-soiled and slightly damaged labels. Levels: one very top and one upper-shoulder. Lot 166 Bin-soiled labels. Levels base of neck. Lot 167 bin-soiled labels, two damaged. Levels: three into neck, one base of neck and two top-shoulder. Lot 168 very bin-soiled labels. Levels: three top, four upper and one mid/low-shoulder
Tasting note: something of a Cindarella vintage. Completely upstaged by the 1961s, just as the 1983 was by the 1982s. Each equally undervalued. Lafite firm, lean, very flavoury. A wine for claret drinkers not fulsome right-bank "stars". M.B.
