"Coming after the great vintage of 1961, it was not totally unexpected that 1962 would be underestimated. The vintage appears to be the most undervalued year for Bordeaux in the post-World War II era. Elegant, supple, very fruity, round and charming wines that are neither too tannic or too massive were produced in virtually every appellation. Because of their precociousness, many assumed the wines would not last, but they have kept longer then anyone would have ever imagined. Most 1962s do require consumption, but they continue to surprise me, and well-preserved examples of the vintage can easily be kept through the turn of the century." Bordeaux by Robert Parker
