Austère in a good way. Great nose. Surprising. Thought it would be more subdued but still packs a punch in that first sip. Tannins all melted through. Nice balance.

First botlle of a case of 12. What a surprise, not a grand vintage this 1992, but the nose is lovely, barnyardy, plums and dates with a fine touch of cedarwood, elegant and refined. The taste is smooth, too smooth, a bit muted, but again lovely dades and prunes and some tobacco even, the fine Cuban that is. The finish is long and very satsifying. I LOVE IT !

My mistake that I never want to buy this 1992. I drank a lot of 1980, 1981, 1987 and those were very good but 1992 seems a bit better. (means more happy with this)
The secret of wine is only simply...really ready to drink !!!
Beautiful banyard reminds me of Cheval Blanc, balance is set to be good, easy delicious with a nice finished...That's all.
What do we want more for the weak weak vintage ?
This is good enough and surprised me.
Drink now - 2018
