Case Paolín

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1962

Another level... Still dense at the core, with steady, attractive bricking: Wonderfully dense nose of blackcurrents, pencil shavings, fine tanned leather, and a hint of woodland floor (fine moss, leaves, and fresh soil after an autumn shower). Velvety tannins and great acidity. Along with the '66 this is one of my all-time favourite Bordeaux vintages. Seems to be keeping up better than the '61s I've had over the last few years!

We drank half of it from the coravin before waxing the top in case the cork had lost too much elasticity to self-seal. I'll have the rest with my brother in a few weeks' time!

Waxing the top? Candle / flame... Simple and self explanatory?

Actually, I use bottle wax, melted in a spoon over a lighter. May be a little associative of the heroin ritual but it's very effective!

Case Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 1999

Not as good as the 98 but still pretty enjoyable showing lots of the qualities of an older mature wine with ripe tanins and mature fruit - good bit of richness for a Pinot — 10 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

Fake wine. Cork said 1967. Came from a case that had others that had corks with 1964 on them that were shaved off. This was a wine that was doctored by the famous Rudy Kurniwan, now in jail. — 10 years ago

I think the 95 we had was a fake as well. Probably not a Rudy (too young) but very suspect.

Had it been re-corked (to allow numbers to be shaved off) or just re-labelled? If the former, do you think the contents were the '67 or something else?
