Upon first opening, the 1962 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection is quite closed, but then with a bit of time in the decanter, the aromas start to freshen up and the wine becomes more lifted. Cinnamon, crushed flowers and sweet red cherries find support in silky, exceptionally polished tannins. The 1962 is ethereal and delicate, yet it has managed to retain quite a bit of freshness through to this last phase of its life. Today, the 1962 is fully mature.
