1962 Château Cantenac-Brown,:
A. Lalande bottling. In the neck fill. Pale ruby with brick rim a la 80's Burgundy. Light earthy notes with some figs, leather and tobacco. Somewhat scented notes comes and goes. A lot on this wine comes and goes for about fourty minutes before it dies off. Lean body, fresh and lively acidity, tannins long gone. Somewhat tight texture, you need to like old wine to find the charm in it, on the verge but has nerve and fruit. Slightly nervous finish. 89 at its very best minutes, mor 87 on average.
