1962 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild

[hotwine]

If you're simply trying to determine the value of the wine: it really depends on the price a prospective buyer is willing to spend. But if you were to try to sell it,
doubt that you'd find many takers. There are too many unknowns in buying a stray bottle of wine (quality of storage conditions being foremost).
I remember '62 as being a good year for Bordeaux (at least, when I enjoyed them in the '70's), so if I were you, I'd prepare a full-blown steak dinner with all the trimmings, pull that cork and enjoy. But have something like a Merlot handy as a backup, just in case that grand cru has tanked.
