Lot 53 levels: 4.0cm; one lightly corroded capsule, two capsules cut to reveal vineyard, vintage and domaine branded corks, one damp stained label; serial numbers 63, 68.

"1962 is perhaps the most under rated vintage in the last 50 years and certainly my pick for the vintage of the decade. The aspect that I particularly like about it is the hauntingly beautiful aromatics that so many '62s possess (in particular the La Tâche) and the Romanée-Conti displays this character in spades with one of the most beguiling noses I have ever experienced. This is fireworks in a glass with simply brilliant aromas of Asian spice, tea, sandalwood, earth, leather, smoke and hints of clove, cinnamon and game. The young vines (replanted just after the war) are in evidence however as this just doesn't quite have the density to pull off an equally beguiling encore to the perfection of the nose. That said, the regal harmony and purity of the middle weight flavors and superb finishing detail still make this a wine to be reckoned with and one that, in this format anyway, will continue to age for decades. In sum, this is a magnificently elegant wine and if not the best RC ever, the aromatics alone make it one of my favorites." BH, April 17, 2004
