Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1962
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Slightly damaged capsule. Bin-soiled and slightly damaged label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: Many notes. It has a shade of red that it typical of many '62s, indicating highish - but usually tolerable and refreshing acidity. Several recent notes including in 1996 an impériale with a herbaceous, vegetal nose that opened up beautifully, and even better flavour though with citrus-like acidity on the finish. Two years later a double magnum also displaying the distinctive '62 redness; dry, lively, berry-like, crisp. Most recently: fully mature; classic bouquet that opened up fragrantly in the glass; medium-sweet, rich yet peppery, slightly raw but refreshing. Last tasted June 2004 **** Drink soon. M.B.
