The Story

У Лафита есть душа, прекрасная, нежная и щедрая. Лафит превращает обыденность в мечту. Лафит — это гармония, гармония природы и человека, ибо без наших виноградарей не было бы Лафита». 
Барон Эрик де Ротшильд

Еще в 1815 году куртье Гийом Лоутон дал этому вину прекрасную характеристику: «Я бы назвал его самым элегантным, самым изысканным и самым деликатным со всех трех (лучших вин). Виноградники Лафит Ротшильд занимают самые лучшие площади Медока». А в 1855 году Шато Лафит Ротшильд будет классифицировано как 1 гран крю на знаменитой классификации, проведенной по случаю Международной выставки.

Written Notes

The 1962 Lafite-Rothschild is served from an impeccable magnum, one of the standouts of this comprehensive vertical tasting. Perhaps the larger format and provenance should be factored in, but neither of my two previous encounters with the 1962 has come close to this. Deeper in color than the 1966, the 1962 offers impressive blackberry and bilberry on the nose, vines of cedar and graphite evolving with time flanked by subtle black olive and brine. The palate is revivifying and fresh, demonstrating exquisite delineation. There is a compelling edginess to this Lafite, with a sustained pencil lead finish backed up by plenty of saline notes. What a truly great 1962 Bordeaux and perchance an under-appreciated Lafite-Rothschild. Tasted at the Lafite-Rothschild dinner at Amuse Bouche in Hong Kong.

Shipped by Mestrezat-Preller.  Imported by White Company Ltd.  Alcohol 11%-14%.  The nose is aromatic and beautiful from the very first pour.  It sports sweet, unique aromas of blood and iron.  In the mouth are bright, clean red fruit which follows the nose.  There are hints of fat and hints of dry graphite.  This is drinking at its peak.  **** Now.
