62 Night. Dinner comparing this with 62 LT. Relatively disadvantaged versus LT because the vines were uprooted in 1945 and replanted in 1947, thus only 15 years of age at this point. Table preferred LT, as did I but it was close in my mind. To my senses, there was less energy but more refinement than LT. The aromas were floral, minty and so compellingly lifted. The palate was intense, deep and complex. Especially loved the minty edge and ultra-refined, nail polish conclusion. Similar to LT, I was shocked by the yields generated in those days, 76% more than 2015 vintage! (32/8512)

This was purchased on release and cellared since. WOW. Huge nose of porcini mushrooms, black tea and so much more. The wine was fully resolved and the finish is still on my tongue I think. I literally have been smelling the bottle for a few hours now and the rhubard and red fruit (yes still fruit!) are amazing. Can I say this is the best wine I've ever had? I'm not sure. It was the most unique and certainly had the longest finish. I'm not sure I'll ever forget that finish. What an incredible wine!!!! *****

World's Greatest - Night III (Per Se): Well that's a five-figure disappointment. Corked to the core.
