  September 1, 2009 - From an English bottling, this was a lovely surprise: deep blood-red and vibrant in colour; nose of citrus rind, red fruit and leather; fine on the palate, with firm tannins, becoming astringent at last; a splendid '62.

  May 18, 2002 - Mature, bright red, with a positive orange/brown meniscus; classic nose, cedar, spices and blackcurrants, warm and with good depth; on the palate drying and tannic, not so much dried out but austere rather than charming, with rusty, gravelly flavours and some dried cherries. Needs food.

  October 8, 1994 - Medium deep colour, dark red core; oak and spice, classic and compact, hint of cheese rind, dark fruit, cedar and coffee; disctinctly powerful structure, tannic grip, medium weight, relatively dry and tight but still juicy, has some fruit, acidity is starting to separate; good length. A good, classic 1962.
