I tasted the 1992 in Cape Cod Mass, October 2001. It was purchased at a local wine shop in Wellfleet, Mass. Light salmon color with tiny streamers. Looked like a tropical storm in a glass. The nose had a light dried herb and red fruit aroma, a touch of underbrush. On the palate was light wild cherry, a faint hint of cotton candy almost a carnival like aroma 20 minutes later. A hint of nut skin, a hint of candied orange peel, and a short to medium length finish of very light red fruits. I personally enjoy a more rich full bodied dom such as the 1988 or 1990-which still should be givin a couple of years to sleep, however, what a lovely passionate drink this was. Still worth the 150 + dollars. 90+

Recently tasted at Parkhill Cellar's Champagne tasting 19/10/02. The colour of the 1992 is that of a pale salmon pink, much lighter than the 1988. Gentle persistent bubbles leading to fine mousse. The nose is closed. On the palate, light cherry fruit and a touch gamey, with a hint of yeasty biscuits on the sides of the tongue. Nicely integrated flavours and long length. Perhaps if it was kept for another 2-3 years, it might approach the 1988 (which I favour over this 1992 vintage).
