Tasting notes
This wine, which was impressive from cask, continues to prove that it is one of the finest wines of the vintage. It exhibits a dark ruby color, a spicy, cedary, black-cherry and curranty-scented nose, rich, medium-bodied flavors with excellent ripeness, a sense of elegance, and a succulent, juicy personality. The wine reveals no signs of dilution, and the tannin is sweet rather than hard and astringent. Drink this noteworthy 1992 over the next 10-12 years.
