Community Tasting Note

William Kelley Likes this wine:

Thursday, August 28, 2014 - The 1962 La Tour Haut Brion is an exceptional wine, and deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as Latour in this vintage! What a happy discovery. The wine has thrown considerable sediment and reveals a saturated ruby-black color. Stunning aromatics explode from the decanter with notes of blackcurrant, coal tar, wet steel and woodsmoke. The palate impression is youthful, with impressive structure and volume in the mouth, and all the flavors and components are beautifully integrated into a harmonious whole. Needless to say, the finish is long, complex and deeply compelling. Another marvel from the Woltner brothers. I only wish I had more bottles.
