1962 Vintage Report

Italian: An excellent vintage across the main regions of Piedmont and Tuscany. The wines produced exhibit a deep colour, rich intensity and have a good structure. The top quality Italian reds such as Barolo and Brunello are still drinking well today.
 
Bordeaux: An outstanding vintage that was overshadowed by legendary 1961 one! Consequently, it is one of the most underrated vintages still available. Good weather in the summer and harvest led to what, at the time was a record crop. The wines were delightful and well proportioned across all regions from the start and the top wines have maintained this quality to this day. The wines should last for a few more years.
 
Port: Not a general declaration, but some very good vintage and single quinta ports were made. Now fully mature, they still have good structure and finish and will last a few more years.

Amarone, 1962

Amarone Bossi Reserva

Amarone della Valpolicella is the most prestigious wine from the Verona area and one of the most important Italian reds. Carefully selected grapes are dried on cane mats for 3 - 4 months before a lengthy maceration and 5 - 8 years in oak casks. It is this process that makes Amarone wines extremely long-lived. cinnamon, candied apples, cloves, vanilla, liqourice, cherries - a port like smell - very ripe berry fruit - incredible! The taste is medium full body, a touch of sweetness, good acidity. The port like character is present in the taste. The tannins are played down - not too dry. Full broad attack leading to a voluptuous mid palate with the acid and toasted oak predominating at the very long finish.
